'''Kalmiopsis''' (''Kalmiopsis leachiana'') is a rare [[flowering plant]] [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] to the [[Siskiyou Mountains]] of southwest [[Oregon]], where it is specially protected in the 72,800 ha [[Kalmiopsis Wilderness]] reserve. It is related to ''[[Kalmia]]'' in the family [[Ericaceae]]. It is an [[evergreen]] [[shrub]] growing to 10-30 cm tall, with erect stems bearing spirally arranged simple [[leaf|leaves]] 2-3 cm long and 1 cm broad. The [[flower]]s are pink-purple, in [[raceme]]s of 6-9 together, reminiscent of small [[Rhododendron]] flowers but flatter, with a star-like calyx of five conjoined [[petal]]s; each flower is 1.5-2 cm diameter. The [[fruit]] is a five-lobed capsule, which splits to release the numerous small [[seed]]s.
