🌿 Hoya sp. New Kalimantan (Kapuas) — discovery from Borneo

Hoya sp. New Kalimantan (Kapuas) is a recent discovery from the Kapuas river region, Indonesia's longest river that traverses West Kalimantan province of Borneo. "Sp." indicates the species has not yet been officially described, and the Kapuas basin location is part of the provisional name.
