Piriqueta abairana is a shrub with orange distylous flowers in the genus Piriqueta of Turneroideae (Passifloraceae). [1] It natively grows in Chapada Diamantina between 1,000 - 1,700 m. [2]

It was originally described in 1999 by Maria Arbo. [3] Morphologically it is similar to P. flammea and P. sarae , but differs in the number and length of inflorescence. [3] It is distylous with salmon or orange flowers. [4] It blooms between December and July. [2]

As of 2017, P. abairana is classified as an endangered species. [5]

<i>Oxossia</i> Genus of flowering plants

Oxossia is a genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Turneroideae (Passifloraceae) consisting of 15 species. This genus was recently defined in 2019 after a phylogenetic analysis of Turnera justified the creation of the genus. The genus is characterized by its stipules, small flowers, congested inflorescences, "hairy" stamen and style, and the attachment of stamen to the floral tube. All members of the genus are heterostylous with the exception of O. dasystyla. The genus can be divided into two morphological groups: those with white petals and those with yellow pink or red petals.
