What this paper is about
A new Hoya from northern Mindanao in the Philippines, in a section of the genus that is particularly rich there.
It differs from the similar H. loheri in being hairy rather than smooth, in having an almost spherical corolla, and in the structure of its gynostegium.
Summarised here from the abstract below. Not the authors’ words.
Abstract
A new species of Hoya R.Br. from Mindanao (Philippines), Hoya migueldavidii Cabactulan, Rodda & Pimentel, is described and illustrated. It is a member of Hoya section Acanthostemma (Blume) Kloppenb. that is particularly speciose in the Philippines. It is compared with the similar Hoya loheri Kloppenb, also endemic of the Philippines, from which it differs in indumentum of the vegetative parts (pubescent vs. glabrous), the shape of the corolla (almost spherical vs. partly flattened) and the type of gynostegium (not stipitate vs. stipitate).
