Aidia cochinchinensis[3] is the type species of the genus Aidia, in the family Rubiaceae.[2] It is native to south-central China, including Hainan, and Vietnam.[2]
No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.[4]
Aidia cochinchinensis has commonly been reported in the Pacific Islands,[5][6] although Tirvengadum noted that the specimens from the Pacific islands were distinct from Aidia cochinchinensis in Vietnam[7][8] and in 1983 proposed Aidia racemosa as a unique species in the Pacific. Plants of the World Online (POWO) follows Tirvengadum in identifying the Aidia of the Pacific region, including Australia and Pacific Islands, as A. racemosa.[9]
