==Range and fossil record==

''Actinidia'' species are commonly found in south-western China, though they range from [[Siberia]] to [[Indonesia]].<ref name="Domestication"/>{{rp|15}} The greatest number of taxa found in the wild are in the [[Yunnan]] province, where almost half of the known species are endemic to Yunnan.<ref name="Domestication"/>{{rp|28}} Other provinces of China with significant populations of wild ''Actinidia'' include [[Guanxi]], [[Hunan]], [[Sichuan]], [[Guizhou]], [[Jiangxi]], [[Zhejiang]], [[Guangdong]], [[Hubei]] and [[Fujian]].<ref name="Domestication"/>{{rp|28}}  Fossils of the extinct species ''A. faveolata'' are known from Europe and [[Western Siberia]] extending from the Upper [[Oligocene]] to the [[Early Pleistocene]],<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Field |first=Michael Hugh |date=August 2012 |title=The first British record of Actinidia faveolata C.Reid and E.M.Reid (Actinidiaceae family) |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1040618212001814 |journal=Quaternary International |language=en |volume=271 |pages=65–69 |doi=10.1016/j.quaint.2012.03.029|bibcode=2012QuInt.271...65F }}</ref> suggesting that the genus was previously more wide-spread across the world.<ref name="Domestication"/>{{rp|27}}
