'''''Acaena''''' is a genus of about one hundred species of [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herb]]s and [[subshrub]]s in the [[Rosaceae]], native mainly to the [[Southern Hemisphere]], notably [[New Zealand]], [[Australia]] and [[South America]], but with a few species extending into the [[Northern Hemisphere]], north to [[Hawaii|Hawai{{okina}}i]] (''A. exigua'') and [[California]] (''A. pinnatifida'').
| common_names = <!--- if multiple, list all, if none, leave blank -->
The [[leaf|leaves]] are alternate, {{convert|4|-|15|cm|in}} long, and pinnate or nearly so, with 7-21 [[leaflet]]s. The [[flower]]s are produced in a tight globose [inflorescence] {{convert|1|-|2|cm|in}} in diameter, with no petals. The [[fruit]] is also a dense ball of many [[seed]]s; in many (but not all) species the seeds bear a barbed arrowhead point, the seedhead forming a [[burr (fruit)|burr]] which attaches itself to [[animal]] [[fur]] or [[feather]]s for dispersal.

Several ''Acaena'' species in New Zealand are known by the common name '''bidibid'''. The word is written variously ''biddy-biddy'', ''biddi-biddi'', ''biddi-bid'' and a number of other variations. These names are the English rendition of the original Māori name of ''piripiri''.<ref>Orsman, H. W. (1999). ''The Dictionary of New Zealand English''. Auckland: Oxford University Press.</ref>
