Machaonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It has about 32 species.[1] All are indigenous to the neotropics.[2] None has a unique common name. Some species have been called "alfilerillo", a Spanish name for the common and well-known genus Erodium. The type species for Machaonia is Machaonia acuminata.[3]

Machaonia was named by Humboldt and Bonpland in 1806 in their book, Plantae Aequinoctiales.[4][5] This genus name is for Machaon, the son of Asclepias in Greek Mythology.

Phylogenetic studies of DNA sequences have shown that Machaonia is paraphyletic over Neoblakea and Allenanthus.[6]
