Hoya nummularia
A small-leaved creeping Hoya of the eastern Himalayan foothills and Indo-Burma, described in the Flora of British India in 1883 and ranging from Assam and Bangladesh through Myanmar to south-central China and Vietnam. Its coin-sized leaves hug bark like a miniature climbing fig. It grows through a hot, wet monsoon and then sits through a cool, dry winter, and does best at home when that rhythm is copied.
Where it grows wild
A bark-hugging epiphyte of monsoon forest in the foothills and lower mountains, from near sea level in Bangladesh to about 1,000 m in the hills, creeping over trunks and mossy branches in humid shade during the rains. Habitat detail is inferred from the genus and range rather than from species-specific notes.
No georeferenced records carry an elevation; the modelled sites range from 5 m in Bangladesh to about 1,000 m in Guizhou, so expect a plant of the lowlands to mid hills.
