Myosotis oreophila is a small perennial forget-me-not from the high mountains of New Zealand's South Island, forming rosettes on rocky fellfield. It is rare and localised, so it is grown mainly by specialist alpine collectors rather than in ordinary gardens.
Myosotis oreophila is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. Donald Petrie described the species in 1896. Plants of this species of forget-me-not are perennial rosettes with ebracteate inflorescences and white corollas with stamens that are partially exserted.
Myosotis oreophila is a forget-me-not that is found in rocky, high-elevation fellfield habitats in Central Otago in the South Island of New Zealand. It is rare and localised to one or few known populations.
