Unrooted cutting of Hoya sp. Aceh 'Burperlak'.
One node.
One or two leaves.

Hoya sp. Aceh Burperlak is an unidentified collector Hoya circulated under a locality-style name associated with Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia.

Plants under the Burperlak / Bur Perlak name are especially appreciated for their substantial foliage, visible venation, and the ability to develop attractive pale splash. The silver markings can range from scattered flecks to larger irregular patches, and stronger light may bring out warmer pink, bronze, or purplish tones in some leaves.

The exact botanical identity of this plant has not been formally established. “Aceh” refers to the region in northern Sumatra, while Burperlak appears to be a horticultural locality or collection name. Similar material is also circulated as Hoya sp. Bur Perlak NAPC018.

A particularly splashy selection is commonly sold under the additional name 'Spilled Rice'. Because we have not found documentation proving that every plant circulated as Burperlak belongs to that exact selection, we prefer to keep the simpler Burperlak name unless the original provenance specifically includes 'Spilled Rice'.

A note about this plant: The naming, locality, accession, and horticultural background information above was gathered from publicly available online sources.
