Gossia acmenoides, known as the scrub ironwood, is a rainforest tree of the family Myrtaceae, native to eastern Australia.

The range of natural distribution is from Jamberoo in New South Wales to Eungella National Park in northern Queensland.

[1] The generic name Gossia refers to the former premier of Queensland, Wayne Goss, who was a champion of conservation.

[1] The species was first described in 1859 as Myrtus acmenoides by Ferdinand von Mueller,[2][3] but was transferred in 2003 to the genus, Gossia, by Neil Snow, Gordon Guymer and Sawvel.

[2][4] Scrub ironwood is a small-sized tree or shrub, usually around 8 metres (25 ft) tall.
