Hoya pubicorolla subsp. anthracina

A Philippine endemic Hoya subspecies, described in 2013 in the online journal Hoya New. The name means 'coal-black' and refers to its very dark flowers. There are almost no published field data for it, so this profile is based on the only locality known for the species and on how Philippine hill-forest hoyas grow. Treat it as a warm, humid, bright-shade epiphyte.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing about its habitat has been published. The only GBIF record for Hoya pubicorolla as a species is a 1948 specimen from Mt. Halcon on Mindoro, collected 'along ridge on forest slopes'. It is not clear which subspecies that is. Like most Philippine hoyas, it is presumably a vine that climbs and roots on trees in wet forest.

No elevation is published for subsp. anthracina. The only specimen of the species was found at 666 m, so hill forest is a reasonable guess, not a measured fact.
