Axinaea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Melastomataceae. As of 2012, there are at least 42 species.[1] They are small trees and shrubs. They are native to the Americas; almost all are found in the Andes.[2]

Plants of this genus are pollinated when birds, several species of fruit-eating tanagers, consume specialized appendages on the stamens. As they grasp the nutritious appendages, a cloud of pollen is released. This has been called "puff pollination".[3][4]

Species include:
