Lindera lucida is a species of flowering plant in the family Lauraceae. It is a tree native to Assam in northeastern India, Peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra.[2] It grows in lowland and lower montane rain forests up to 1,200 metres elevation.[1]

The species was first described as Litsea lucida by Carl Ludwig Blume in 1826. In 1900 Jacob Gijsbert Boerlage placed the species in genus Lindera as L. lucida.[1]

Dihydrochalcones (3′,5′-dihydroxy-2′,4′,6′-trimethoxydihydrochalcone, methyl linderone, 5-hydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone (alnetin) and 2′-hydroxy-3′,4′,5′,6′-tetramethoxydihydrochalcone (dihydrokanakugiol) can be found in twigs of L. lucida.[3]
