Hiepia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apocynaceae. The only species is Hiepia corymbosa V.T.Pham & Aver..[1]

It is native and found in Vietnam.[1]

The genus name of Hiepia is in honour of Tiên Hiêp Nguyên (b. 1947), a Vietnamese botanist, who organized field research excursions in south-east Asia.[2] The Latin specific epithet of corymbosa refers to Corymb, which is derived from the Ancient Greek word korymbos meaning "bunch of flowers or fruit".[3] Hiepia and Hiepia corymbosa were first described and published in Turczaninowia Vol.14, Issue 3 on page 6 in 2011.[1]
