Hoya phyllura

A little-known Bornean hoya, recorded wild only a few times. Herbarium labels describe an epiphyte on a riverbank in lowland rainforest, with flowers white outside and pale yellow to pink inside. Grow it warm, humid and in bright shade, and treat the details as provisional.

Where it grows wild

One old collection from West Borneo (Winkler) records an epiphyte in primary forest on a riverbank at about 150 m. A Malaysian collection is from along a river in lowland dipterocarp forest. It seems to be a riverside epiphyte in humid lowland forest.

The one recorded elevation is 150 m. The measured climate, however, is cool enough to suggest one of the sites is at a much higher elevation.
