Oxossia waltherioides explained

Oxossia waltherioides is a subshrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae).[1] [2] It is native to the Amazon Rainforest of Roraima, Brazil.[3]

Description

Similar to other members of Oxossia, it has yellow distylous flowers. 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.
