Acostia is a genus of South American plants in the grass family.[1][2][3][4]

The only known species is Acostia gracilis, found only in Ecuador.[5][6] It is listed as an endangered species.[7]

The genus name of Acostia is in honour of Misael Acosta Solís (1910–1994), an Ecuadorian naturalist.[8] The Latin specific epithet of gracilis means "slender".[9] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. Vol.12 on page 109 in 1968.[6]
