Calycanthus occidentalis is a species of flowering shrub native to California and, according to some sources, Washington state. It grows along streams and moist canyons in the foothills of mountains and can reach a height of 4 m (13 ft). Its leaves are opposite, and grow to about 5–15 cm (2–6 in) long and 2–8 cm (0.8–3.1 in) wide. The flowers appear from late spring to early fall and have swirls of dark red to burgundy colored petal-like structures called tepals, 2–6 cm (0.8–2.4 in) long and 0.5–1 cm (0.2–0.4 in) wide. The flowers are pollinated by beetles of the family Nitidulidae.
