They are thick and smooth, with very short petioles and tight spacing along slender stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most interesting characteristics is hidden in the species name. “Peltata” refers to the peltate base of the leaf: instead of the petiole attaching exactly at the outer edge of the blade, it connects slightly inward from the margin. This small structural detail was one of the features used to distinguish Hoya peltata from similar miniature Bornean species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are equally unusual. Rather than producing large multi-flowered umbels, Hoya peltata typically produces only one or two tiny flowers at a time on surprisingly long peduncles. The original botanical description records flowers only about 6 mm across in dark red-brown to violet tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoya peltata was formally described by Michele Rodda and Sri Rahayu in 2022. The species was based on a specimen collected in November 1953 near Nunukan, north of Tarakan in North Kalimantan, Indonesia. It was found growing epiphytically in low-elevation dipterocarp forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the time of its description, the species was known only from that historical collection, making its true distribution and wild population size uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hoya peltata Rodda \u0026amp; S.Rahayu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borneo — North Kalimantan, Indonesia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType locality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nunukan area, north of Tarakan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType specimen collected:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst published:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotable features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extremely small rounded leaves, distinctive peltate leaf bases, tight foliage, and tiny one- to two-flowered inflorescences\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that leaf size, shape, and spacing can vary as the plant grows and under different growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note about this plant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSpecies-level botanical and historical information above is based on the original published species description and current taxonomic records.
