Oxossia waltherioides is a subshrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae).[1][2] It is native to the Amazon Rainforest of Roraima, Brazil.[2][3]
Description
[edit]Similar to other members of Oxossia, it has yellow distylous flowers.[2] Morphologically, it's similar to O. schomburgkiana.[4] It can be distinguished from other members of the genera due to its coriaceous ovate-elliptic leaves; unlike O. schomburgkiana, the entire leaf is tomentose.[4]
