Abstract

Hoya engleriana Hosseus is reported as a newly recorded species of Apocynaceae from China. The species was recorded previously in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, while multiple wild populations of the species were recently found in the counties of Cangyuan and Gengma, and Tengchong City, Yunnan Province, China. The voucher specimens are now preserved in the Herbarium of Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences (KUN). Morphologically, the species is characterized by its narrowly pyriform leaves that are 16~25 mm long with the evident revolute margin, which can be used to distinguish the spe-cies from all the others in the same genus. In addition, the name Hoya engleriana Hosseus is lectotypified here.
