|discussion=<p><i>Calycanthus occidentalis</i> grows in the northern Coast Range, the southern Cascades Range, and the western Sierra <i>Nevada</i>. It is ecologically similar to <i>C. floridus</i>; it consistently differs from that taxon in a number of vegetative and floral characteristics. Because of an apparent lack of hardiness, <i>C. occidentalis</i> is cultivated less often than <i>C. floridus</i>.</p><!--
--><p>Some American Indians used scraped bark of <i>Calycanthus occidentalis</i> medicinally in treating severe colds (D. E. Moerman 1986).</p>
