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.
Where it grows wild
Presumed an epiphytic or lithophytic vine of Hainan's evergreen monsoon and hill forest, on trunks and rocks under a broken canopy, in a climate with a distinct cool dry season.
No elevation is recorded; the placeholder climate site sits at 229 m in central Hainan. Hainan hoyas occur from the lowlands to the mid-elevation forests of the central ranges.
