Carpenteria californica /ˌkɑːrpənˈtɪəriə ˌkælᵻˈfɔːrnᵻkə/, the sole species in the genus Carpenteria, with the common names tree anemone and bush anemone.
It is a flowering evergreen shrub native to the Sierra Nevada foothills in California. It is closely related to the genus Philadelphus.
It is a rare species, endemic to only seven sites in Fresno and Madera Counties, where it grows in chaparral and oak woodlands between 340–1,340 m (1,115–4,396 ft) altitude in the Sierra Nevada, between the San Joaquin River and Kings River. It is well adapted to wildfire, reproducing by stump sprouts after burning. Natural seedlings are rare.
