Hoya monetteae

Hoya monetteae was described by Ted Green in Fraterna in 2004 and is one of the more widespread hoyas, recorded from Borneo, the Philippines and Sulawesi. There are no georeferenced wild records, so this profile averages the three regional reference climates: warm, humid and rainy year round with only a modest drier spell.

Where it grows wild

An epiphytic vine of humid lowland to hill rainforest across the Malesian islands, growing on trunks and branches in dappled canopy light.

No elevation is recorded; the three reference sites sit at 9, 432 and 495 m, so the figures describe lowland to foothill conditions.
