SUMMARY In addition to the knowledge of the genus Hoya in Thailand a new species from Peninsular Thailand is recorded. This new species, Hoya balaensis, is described and illustrated. Key words: Asclepiadaceae, Hoya, Thailand, new species.
INTRODUCTION Hoya R.Br. is a genus of the Milkweed family, Asclepiadaceae. Hoyas are found in Asian and Australian regions. The genus consists of at least 100 species occurring from China, Southeast Asia to Oceania (Ping-tao et al., 1995). It is easily recognized from other climbing epiphytes with opposite leaves by having milky sap in all parts, rather thick and fleshy leaves, flowers in umbelliform, and a star-shaped corona. Presently, the genus Hoya is being studied for the Flora of Thailand Project; there are probably 40 species (Thaithong, 2001). A new species of Hoya is found in southern Thailand. After intensive studies of herbarium specimens deposited at AAU, BM, K, L, P and SING, we decided to describe a new species.
