Hoya occultata

Hoya occultata (Rahayu and Rodda, 2020) is a recently described species from Sulawesi with no wild records in GBIF and, as far as we could reach, no cultivation notes. Treat it as an everwet Sulawesi hill-forest epiphyte: warm, humid and rained on every month, with no rest.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte in lowland to hill rainforest of Sulawesi; the description in Annales Botanici Fennici could not be reached, so no habitat note or elevation is confirmed.

Unknown; the climate was measured at the Sulawesi region centroid at about 500 m.
