Hoya clemensiorum is a Bornean climbing vine, an epiphyte or lithophyte, grown for its thick, leathery leaves with dark veining and its hanging clusters of fragrant flowers. It is a wax plant species, grown mainly by collectors who want a hard-to-find Hoya.
Hoya clemensiorum is a species of flowering plant in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, native to the island of Borneo.
The species is endemic to Borneo, recorded from Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia, as well as Brunei and Kalimantan in Indonesia. It inhabits lowland to lower montane primary rainforests and riverine forest edges, climbing tree trunks from near sea level up to approximately 1,500 m elevation on Mount Kinabalu.
