Hoya nyingchiensis

Hoya nyingchiensis (Zuo and Deng, 2020) was described from Nyingchi prefecture in south-eastern Tibet, the only part of the plateau where the monsoon reaches up the Yarlung Tsangpo gorge and subtropical forest grows. It is a cool, strongly seasonal grower: warm wet summers and a cool, dry, bright winter, and it needs that winter rest reproduced at home.

Where it grows wild

Epiphyte or lithophyte in evergreen broadleaf forest of the Yarlung Tsangpo gorge system in Nyingchi; the exact elevation is not in the records we could reach, but hoyas in Tibet are confined to the humid valleys between roughly 1,000 and 2,200 m.

Probably 1,000 to 2,200 m in the gorge forests; the grid point at 4,432 m is terrain, not the plant's elevation.
