We propose a concrete form of a vertex function, which we call O-vertex, for the intersection between an O5-plane and a 5-brane in the topological vertex formalism, as an extension of the work of [1]. Using the O-vertex it is possible to compute the Nekrasov partition functions of 5d theories realized on any 5-brane web diagrams with O5-planes. We apply our proposal to 5-brane webs with an O5-plane and compute the partition functions of pure SO (N) gauge theories and the pure G 2 gauge theory. The obtained results agree with the results known in the literature. We also compute the partition function of the pure SU (3) gauge theory with the Chern-Simons level 9. At the end we rewrite the O-vertex in a form of a vertex operator.
