Oxossia spicata is a shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae).[1][2] It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Espírito Santo, Brazil .[2] The species is known from three different populations, however, additional field work is needed to determine the conservation status of O. spicata.[3]

Similar to other members of the genus, O. spicata has white distylous flowers.[3] It closely resembles T. albicans, but differs in location and sessile flowers and simple tector trichomes.[3]
