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

Axinaea affinis (Naudin) Cogn.
Axinaea carolinae-telleziae
Axinaea fernando-cabiesii
Axinaea flava
Axinaea glauca
Axinaea lawessonii E. Cotton
Axinaea macrophylla (Naudin) Triana
Axinaea merianiae (DC.) Triana
Axinaea ninakurorum
Axinaea nitida Cogn.
Axinaea pauciflora Cogn.
Axinaea quitensis Benoist
Axinaea sclerophylla Triana
Axinaea sessilifolia Triana
Axinaea sodiroi Wurdack
Axinaea reginae
