'''''Acmena''''' is a genus of 15 species of [[shrub]] and small [[tree]] in the myrtle family [[Myrtaceae]] and related to [[guava]]s. The name is derived from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word for "plentiful."
It is a fairly recent creation, being split off from ''[[Eugenia]]'', along with the closely-related ''[[Syzygium]]''.
They are found in [[Australia]] and [[Malesia]]. The Australian species are commonly labelled as '''lilly pillies''', along with the Australian ''Syzygiums''
''Acmena'' is used as a food plant by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including ''[[Aenetus|Aenetus ligniveren]]'', which burrows into the trunk.
