Hoya collectors will be delighted with this pretty rarity for several reasons, as it is not only rare because it is difficult to find on the market and has only been found in the wild in a few locations in the provinces of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. It also provides a very decorative sight, as its leaves have unusually wavy edges and its delicate flowers with fine hairs shine in a bright orange tone with a pink center.
