Adina cordifolia, synonym Haldina cordifolia, is a flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is native to southern Asia, from India east to China and Vietnam and south to Peninsular Malaysia.[1]

Adina cordifolia is a deciduous tree that can grow well over 20 metres high. The flowers may be insignificant individually but can be seen as attractive when they bloom together in inflorescences with a circumference of 20–30 mm. They are usually yellow often tinged with a shade of pink. A. cordifolia usually blossoms during winter (dry season) months. The bark of the tree acts as an antiseptic.
