Hoya medinillifolia

Hoya medinillifolia is a Bornean species described by Rodda and Simonsson in 2011, named for leaves that resemble a Medinilla, and known from lowland Sarawak. The two wild records lie in ever-wet lowland and hill forest, so it needs constant warmth, very high humidity and moisture in every month.
