Hoya nuuuliensis

A Samoan Hoya described by Kloppenburg and Siar in 2008 in the hobbyist journal Fraterna and named after Nu'uuli, a village on Tutuila in American Samoa, which suggests a lowland coastal plant. GBIF has no wild records and the modelled climate comes from the Upolu highlands, so the figures below are adjusted upward for the warmer lowland the name points to. Treat it as a warm, humid Pacific-island epiphyte with a gentle drier spell from June to September.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic climber of humid lowland and coastal forest in Samoa, as the name suggests; Samoan hoyas grow on trunks and branches from the coast into the wet hills. No habitat notes specific to the species were reachable.

No elevation on record. The name points to the lowlands of Tutuila; the modelled site sits at about 740 m on Upolu and is several degrees cooler than the likely origin.
