Oxossia rubrobracteata is a shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae).[1][2] It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil.[2]
Oxosssia rubrobracteata was originally described in 2019, as it morphologically differed from other neighboring members of Turneroideae (Turnera dichotoma and T. revoluta) in the region it was originally identified.[3] Similar to other members of the genus, O. rubrobracteata has distylous flowers.[2] It can be distinguished from other members of the genus due to the reddish / purple color of dried bracts and its pink flowers.[4]
