Aidia racemosa is a tree in the Rubiaceae family, native from Thailand west to the Pacific islands and south to Australia. [2]
Aidia racemosa is native to the following regions: Borneo, Caroline Islands, Christmas Island, Gilbert Islands, Hainan, Jawa, Lesser Sunda Islands, Malaya, Maluku, Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Guinea, Nicobar Islands, Philippines, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Sulawesi, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Vanuatu, Vietnam, Wallis-Futuna Islands, and the Australian regions of Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia. [2]
In the Pacific Islands, Aidia has commonly been reported as being Aidia cochinchinensis. [3] However, Tirvengadum noted that the specimens from the Pacific islands were distinct from Aidia cochinchinensis in Vietnam and in 1988 proposed Aidia racemosa as a unique species in the Pacific. [4] Fobserg noted a large diversity of phenotypes in the Pacific islands, and in 1993 retained the name Aidia cochinchinensis as an umbrella term for the Pacific and south Asian types. [4] However, Plants of the World Online (POWO) considers Aidia cochinchinensis (native to south-central China and Vietnam) and Aidia racemosa to be unique species. [2]
Common names for Aidia from various regions include: [4]
Cypress is a common name for various coniferous trees or shrubs of northern temperate regions that belong to the family Cupressaceae. The word cypress is derived from Old French cipres, which was imported from Latin cypressus, the latinisation of the Greek κυπάρισσος (kyparissos). Cypress trees are a large classification of conifers, encompassing the trees and shrubs from the cypress family (Cupressaceae) and many others with the word cypress in their common name. Many cypress trees have needle-like, evergreen foliage and acorn-like seed cones.

Calophyllum inophyllum is a large evergreen plant, commonly called tamanu, oil-nut, mastwood, beach calophyllum or beautyleaf. It is native to tropical Asia and Wallacea. Due to its importance as a source of timber for the traditional shipbuilding of large outrigger ships, it has been spread in prehistoric times by the migrations of the Austronesian peoples to the islands of Oceania and Madagascar, along with other members of the genus Calophyllum. It has since been naturalized in regions in the East African coast. It is also a source of the culturally important tamanu oil.
