Abstract
The genus Hoya (Apocynaceae) has been known as an ornamental plant for 100 years in Europe, USA, and Australia, while in Indonesian it is still poorly known. There were about 350–450 species of Hoya in the world, and 74 species among them were distributed in Papuasia. Most of the Hoya species in Papuasia were recorded from Papua New Guinea, and there has been very poor record from western New Guinea (Papua Province and West Papua Province). This preliminary survey of Hoya species diversity was carried out in several Regencies in Papua and Papua Provinces using purposive sampling method. We conducted 12 field expeditions in Yapen, Biak, Sorong, Raja Ampat, Maybrat, Jayapura, and Keerom. From this survey, we discovered 10 species of Hoya, namely: Hoya stenakei, Hoya megalaster, Hoya pachyphylla, Hoya patella, Hoya globulifera, and Hoya inconspicua. Four other species belong to Eriostemma Section (Hoya lauterbachii, Hoya coronaria, Hoya sussuela, Hoya sp1). We recorded Hoya pachyphylla and Hoya globulifera as larval food plants for Euploea netscheri. To the best of our knowledge, these are new record of larval food plants for Euploea netscheri.
