Aidia cochinchinensis [1] is the type species of the genus Aidia, in the family Rubiaceae. Aidia cochinchinensis is native to south-central China, including Hainan, and Vietnam. [2]

No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life. [3]

Aidia cochinchinensis has commonly been reported in the Pacific Islands, [4] [5] although Tirvengadum noted that the specimens from the Pacific islands were distinct from Aidia cochinchinensis in Vietnam [6] [7] 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. [8]
