Oxossia waltherioides is a subshrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). [1] [2] It is native to the Amazon Rainforest of Roraima, Brazil. [2] [3]
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]
The Ulvophyceae or ulvophytes are a class of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology, life cycle and molecular phylogenetic data. The sea lettuce, Ulva, belongs here. Other well-known members include Caulerpa, Codium, Acetabularia, Cladophora, Trentepohlia and Monostroma.
Turnera is a genus of flowering plants in the passionflower family, Passifloraceae. It contains more than 100 species native to tropical and subtropical America. The name honours English naturalist William Turner (1508–1568). It was previously placed in the family Turneraceae.
Turnera subulata is a species of flowering plant in the passionflower family known by the common names white buttercup, sulphur alder, politician's flower, dark-eyed turnera, and white alder. Despite its names, it is not related to the buttercups or the alders. It is native to Central and South America, from Panama south to Brazil. It is well known in many other places as an introduced species, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, several other Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, and Florida in the United States.

Oxossia capitata is a shrub native to the wet tropics of southern Brazil. It was previously classified as Turnera, however, recent phylogenetic analyses suggested the species should be placed in Oxossia.O. capitata has heterostylous white pointed flowers.
Oxossia dasystyla is a shrub native to southeast Brazil. It is native to the jungles and surrounding fields of Minas Gerais; specifically the Caatinga and Atlantic Forest.
Oxossia hatschbachii is a species of shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest near Espírito Santo, Brazil. O. hatchbachii has heterostylous racemose flowers, ranging in color from white to red.

Oxossia marmorata is a shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil. It can be distinguished from other members of the genus by its yellow flowers. Similar to other members of Oxossia, O. marmorata has distylous flowers.
Oxossia pernambucensis is a shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil. The species is currently represented by a single population and thus is currently classified as critically endangered.
Oxossia princeps is a subshrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the savanna of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is considered "rare", but its conservation classification is currently unknown.
Oxossia rubrobracteata is a shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil.
