HOYA (APOCYNACEAE: ASCLEPIADOIDEAE) DIVERSITY IN GUNUNG GEDE PANGRANGO NATIONAL PARK, WEST JAVA, INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: A survey on the
diversity of Hoya {Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) species was conducted in
Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park at different altitudes in four locations
(Cibodas, Bodogol, Situgunung, and Selabintana). Ten Hoya species were found at
elevations between 650 and 1500 m asl. Of these, two species were only found at
elevations above 1000 m asl, while the other eight grow well below 1000 m asl. The
inventory encountered Hoya imperialis Lindley and H. micrantha Wight ex Hook.f.
as new records for Java. The highest diversity was found at the Bodogol
Research Station. It shows that the genus is most diverse at relatively low altitudes.
