Zuccarinia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family of Rubiaceae. The genus contains only one species, i.e. Zuccarinia macrophylla, which is endemic to western Malesia,[1] It is found in Jawa, Malaya and Sumatera.[2]

The genus and species were circumscribed by Carl Ludwig Blume in Bijdr. Fl. Ned. Ind. on pages 1006-1007 in 1826.[2]

The genus name of Zuccarinia is in honour of Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini (1797–1848), who was a German botanist, Professor of Botany at the University of Munich.[3]
