Oxossia dasystyla is a shrub native to southeast Brazil.[1][2] It is native to the jungles and surrounding fields of Minas Gerais; specifically the Caatinga and Atlantic Forest.[3]

Oxossia dasystyla has white "horny" homostylous racemous flowers and reddish glabrous branches.[3] It is semidecidous, flowers in December, and fruit sets in January.[3] It differs from other members of Oxossia due to its ovate leaves, petals without ligules, and ovate bracts.[4]
