Exocarpos bidwillii is a small, sprawling, leafless shrub endemic to New Zealand and is a member of the family Santalaceae, most of which are regarded as root hemiparasites. In this instance there is a body of opinion that Exocarpos bidwillii may not be parasitic.
It is found mainly in montane to subalpine open areas, mostly in rocky places of the South Island, from latitudes 41° to 45° 30' (corrected from H.H. Allan's mid-ocean figure of 48° 30').
