Hoya batutikarensis   

in Ahmad, Zulfadli, Rahayu & Rodda, 2021. 

Abstract
One new species of Hoya from Indonesia, Hoya batutikarensis, is described and illustrated. It is similar to H. camphorifolia but it has unusual corona lobes, each lobe has a spreading process at base and an apical triangular process, while the corona of H. camphorifolia has simple navicular lobes. Hoya ischnopus, a species so far only known to occur in New Guinea, is newly recorded in Sulawesi, considerably extending its distribution area.
