Introduction
Indonesia has been predicted to have the most diverse array of species of Hoya R.Br (Brown 1810;
Kleijn & van Donkelaar 2001). However, a full inventory of Hoya occurring in Indonesia is yet to be
completed. Indonesia is an extremely large and diverse country and our plan is to complete an inventory
and revision of the Indonesian Hoya working on seven separate geographical areas: Sumatra, Java,
Kalimantan, Lesser Sunda Islands, Sulawesi, Maluku, and Indonesian New Guinea.
Recent papers on Indonesian Hoya were published by Kleijn & van Donkelaar (2001), who revised
the genus in central Sulawesi, where 13 species occur; by Rahayu & Wanntorp (2012), who published
a checklist and a key to the Hoya of Sumatra that included 27 species; and lastly by Lamb & Rodda
(2016), who published a checklist of the Bornean species including 72 species, 34 of which occurring
in Kalimantan. The most recently published Hoya from Sumatra is H. fauziana subsp. angulata Rodda
et al. (2018).
The present paper aims at updating the checklist and clarifying the type citation of all the taxa of Hoya
from Sumatra. Three species and one new subspecies are newly published: H. danumensis subsp. amarii
S.Rahayu & Rodda subsp. nov., H. rigidifolia S.Rahayu & Rodda sp. nov. (based on material identified
by Rahayu & Wanntorp (2012) as H. oblanceolata Hook.f.), H. solokensis S.Rahayu & Rodda sp. nov.,
and H. sumatrana S.Rahayu & Rodda sp. nov.

Notes
Hoya danumensis subsp. amarii subsp. nov. can be separated from H. danumensis Rodda & Nyhuus
(2009) subsp. danumensis because of the shape and size of the corolla that is shallowly campanulate,
20–23 mm in diameter and deeply campanulate, vs 25–35 mm in the latter; in the shape and size of the
corona lobes that are ovate-oblong and 5.5–6 × 2.4–2.6 mm in H. danumensis subsp. danumensis vs
ovate and 4.5–5 × 2.3–2.5 mm in the new subspecies.

Distribution and habitat
Hoya rigidifolia sp. nov. is only known from the type locality in the lowland forest of Pulau Siberut,
southern Sumatra, Indonesia.
Conservation status
Known only from a single collection and lacking information on the distribution area, the population
size and the possible threats to the habitat, H. rigidifolia sp. nov. is considered as Data Deficient (DD)
(IUCN 2012).
Notes
Hoya rigidifolia sp. nov. flowers only open for a single day. The flowers of H. finlaysonii are also open
for a single day and have a similar flower morphology (rotate corolla, ovoid corona lobes of similar size).
Both species are, however, easily separated based on leaf characters. Hoya finlaysonii has lanceolate to
oblong leaves with pinnate venation, usually darker than the rest of the lamina; H. rigidifolia sp. nov.
also has pinnate venation, but additionally it has two basal secondary veins running along the entire
length of the lamina. The leaf venation of H. erythrina Rintz (1978) is similar to that of H. rigidifolia
sp. nov.; however, both species can be separated based on flower charaters: H. erythrina has flowers
with corolla > 15 mm in diameter when flattened, long-pubescent inside, and lasting > 2 days, while
H. rigidifolia sp. nov. has flowers with corolla < 12 mm in diameter when flattened, glabrous inside, and
lasting one day.

1.5–1.7 mm high, conical, with apex acute. Fruit and seed not observed.
Distribution and habitat
Hoya solokensis sp. nov. is only known from the type locality in Solok, Sumatra, Indonesia, at ca
1000 m a.s.l. It was collected in an evergreen forest, where it was growing epiphytically.
Conservation status
Known only from a single collection and lacking information on the distribution area, the population
size and the possible threats to the habitat, H. solokensis sp. nov. is considered as Data Deficient (DD)
(IUCN 2012).
Notes
Hoya solokensis sp. nov. is one of the few species of Hoya that exhibits a non-climbing habit but is
instead an epiphytic shrub. It is morphologically similar to H. papaschonii Rodda (Rodda & Ercole
2014), a species only found in southern Thailand. Both species share a shrubby habit, short-lived
peduncles, and flowers with a tubular corolla. However, H. papaschonii has the free part of the corolla
lobes mostly held upright, while in H. solokensis sp. nov. the lobes are spreading; furthermore, the
corona of H. papaschonii has both staminal and interstaminal elements while H. solokensis sp. nov.
only has a staminal corona. Another species with a tubular corolla is H. telosmoides Omlor (1996) from
Borneo, that is, however, a climber. The flowers of H. solokensis sp. nov. superficially resemble those of
the Bornean H. hamiltoniorum A.L.Lamb, Gavrus, Emoi & Gokusing (Lamb et al. 2014) because both
species have the free part of the corolla lobes spreading, however H. hamiltoniorum is a climber and its
inner apex of the corona lobe is bifid, while the apex of the inner lobes of H. solokensis sp. nov. is entire.

above, inner process bilobed, outer process rounded, with a narrow basal revolute margin. Anthers ca
0.5 × 0.4 mm, ovate, with a linear apical round membranaceous appendage to 2.8 mm long. Pollinia
280–320 × 100–120 μm, oblong, with a round base and obliquely truncate; pellucid margin all along

× ca 0.5 mm at the base, conical, with apex acute. Fruit and seed not observed.
Distribution and habitat
Hoya sumatrana sp. nov. is only known from the type locality in in Lampung, Sumatra, Indonesia. It
was collected in a coastal swamp forest, where it was growing as an epiphyte.
Conservation status
Known only from a single collection and lacking information on the distribution area, the population
size and the possible threats to the habitat, H. sumatrana sp. nov. is considered as Data Deficient (DD)
(IUCN 2012).
Notes
Hoya sumatrana sp. nov. is a new species in H. sect. Peltostemma Schlechter (1916: 14), characterized by
upright corona lobes, long linear anther appendages extending well above the style-head and pollinaria
with well developed caudicle wings. This section includes six species, two of which, H. soidaoensis
Kidyoo (2013) and H. phuwuaensis Kidyoo (2016), have been recently published. Hoya sumatrana
sp. nov. can be separated from all other members of this section because its flowers are much smaller;
for example, the corolla of H. sumatrana sp. nov. is 7–9 mm in diameter, while the corolla of the second
smallest species, H. flagellata Kerr (1940: tab. 3407), is > 10 mm in diameter, as well as the corona of
Hoya sumatrana sp. nov. is 2.8–3.2 mm in diameter, while that of H. flagellata is > 4 mm in diameter.
Another useful character to separate H. sumatrana sp. nov. from all other members of the section is the
inner corona lobe process, that is bilobed in H. sumatrana sp. nov., while the other species have acute
or rounded processes.

Discussion
Since Rahayu & Wanntorp (2012), the Sumatran specimens identified as H. erythrostemma Kerr (1939)
have been identified as H. rintzii, H. micrantha Hook.f. (Hooker 1883) has been re-determined as
H. rundumensis, and H. verticillata was reported as H. parasitica Wall. ex Wight (1834). Nine species
have been added to the inventory of Sumatran Hoya (Rahayu & Wanntorp 2012), all described based
on Sumatran collections. These are H. andalensis, H. beccarii, H. brooksii, H. deykeae, H. omlorii,
H. parvifolia, H. purpurascens, H. sarcophylla, and H. uncinata.
Hoya variifolia is considered a new synonym of H. parviflora. Two further species, H. glabra Schltr
(Schlechter 1908) and H. kastbergii, are newly recorded.
The total count of taxa of Hoya known from Sumatra now stands at 43 and includes 41 species and two
subspecies.
