Oxossia pernambucensis is a shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae).[1][2] It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil .[3] The species is currently represented by a single population and thus is currently classified as critically endangered.[4]

Similar to other members of the genus, O. pernambucensis has white distylous flowers.[2] It flowers from May to January and seeds are dispersed by ants.[4] Morphologically, it is similar to O. capitata and O. dasystla.[4] It can be distinguished from other members of the genus by its fruit which are punctate and lack an apical horn-like appendix.[2][4]
