Hoya mcclurei

Hoya mcclurei is a Hainan endemic described by Kloppenburg in 2018 and named for F. A. McClure, who collected on the island in the 1920s and 1930s; nothing is published about its habitat beyond the island. Hainan has a real monsoon climate with hot wet summers and a cool, dry winter, so this hoya should be grown warm and wet in summer and drier and cooler in winter.
