Hoya (Chicken Farm) was collected by Eva-Karin Wiberg (EKW97-005) in 1997 near a chicken coop (or farm) near Tenom in Sabah, Borneo. This is how it earned its memorable common name.
Hoya (Chicken Farm) is a well-known Hoya in the collecting community, often associated with Hoya finlaysonii due to strong resemblances. However, its designation "sp." or the common understanding is that it's a wild-collected form, rather than a hybrid, even though some older or incorrect sources might list it as Hoya finlaysonii x deykeae.
