'''''Acmena''''' is a genus of [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s in the myrtle family [[Myrtaceae]]. They are related to [[guava]]s. The name is derived from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word for "plentiful."
 +
 +
The name was first validly published in 1828.<ref name="APNI"/> The species of this genus have sometimes been treated as part of the large Old World genus ''[[Syzygium]]''<ref name="APNI"/> (which in turn has sometimes been included in ''[[Eugenia]]'', although many authors limit ''Eugenia'' mostly to New World species<ref>{{citation | title = A Resolution of the Eugenia-Syzygium Controversy (Myrtaceae) | author = Rudolf Schmid | journal = American Journal of Botany | volume = 59 | issue = 4 | date = April 1972 | pages = 423–436 | doi = 10.2307/2441553 }}</ref>). Several 2006 papers include ''Acmena'' in ''Syzygium''.<ref name="APNI"/><ref name="grin">[http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/genus.pl?105 Acmena DC.], ''GRIN Taxonomy for Plants''</ref>
