Symphoricarpos guadalupensis, McKittrock's snowberry,[1] is a rare North American species of plants in the honeysuckle family. It has been found only in South McKittrick Canyon in the Guadalupe Mountains of western Texas.[2] This is inside Guadalupe Mountains National Park.[3]

Symphoricarpos guadalupensis is a hairless shrub. This distinguishes it sharply from S. palmeri, which can be found growing in the same canyon as S. guadalupensis but is rather hairy.[2]
