Akeake is the Maori name of at least three New Zealand species of tree:

• Dodonaea viscosa
• Olearia traversi
• Olearia avicenniaefolia

This is less confusing than it appears as the name goes back to pre-European times when it was used for specifically for trees growing in different areas of New Zealand; areas occupied by different tribes or Iwi. In post-European times it is used most frequently, but not exclusively, for Dodonaea viscosa.
