Coprosma perpusilla

Coprosma perpusilla is a diminutive, evergreen shrub with a sprawling habit, often found clinging to rocky alpine terrains. Its small, glossy, teal-like leaves form dense mats, providing protection against harsh winds and cold. The plant's inconspicuous white flowers bloom under summer's mild embrace, followed by translucent blueberries that stand out against the foliage.
