Kalmiopsis fragrans is a rare species of flowering plant in the heath family known by the common name North Umpqua kalmiopsis. It is endemic to Oregon in the United States, where there are just a few known populations, all within Douglas County.[1]
This plant has been known since the 1950s[1] but it was generally treated as a form of Kalmiopsis leachiana.[2] In 2007 it was separated and described as a new species.[3] It differs slightly from K. leachiana in the size and shape of the flower.[1]
