Hoya pachyphylla

A thick-leaved Hoya described by Schumann and Lauterbach in 1900 from New Guinea. It is an epiphyte with no georeferenced wild records on GBIF. The climate below comes from one lowland New Guinea point (hot, saturated, rain every month). Its fleshy leaves suggest it tolerates brief drying better than thin-leaved Hoya.
