Coprosma niphophila, the creeping coprosma, is a shrub native to Australia and the south island of New Zealand. The specific epithet (niphophila) is derived from ancient Greek meaning "snow-loving", referring to the alpine habitat of this plant.[1] The type specimen was collected near the Upper Blue Lake Cirque near Mount Kosciuszko, New South Wales.[2][3]
