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]
