Hoya montelbanensis

Hoya montelbanensis was published by Kloppenburg in Hoya New in 2018; the name suggests Montalban (Rodriguez) in Rizal province, Luzon, a limestone gorge area at the foot of the Sierra Madre. There are no wild records, so this profile applies the seasonal lowland Philippine climate, which matches Luzon's wet-summer, dry-winter rhythm.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic or scrambling vine of lowland forest and forest edge, probably on or near limestone, where the canopy is open enough for bright dappled light.

No elevation is recorded; the Montalban area lies at roughly 100 to 500 m, close to the 9 m reference site in climate.
