It does indeed fit the Botanica
descriptions and pictures of Calycanthus, but the flowers look like a cross
between floridus and occidentalis because of the paler tips. Also, the
cultivation requirements make it truly remarkable that it is growing where it
is, since there really isn't summer water available there and it in full baking
sun. Our elevation is at the very lowest reaches of the
Sierras, though, so it is probably occidentalis. I'll have to look
closer next time I drive by to see if there is runoff from the restaurant
irrigation that may be watering it! I'm just so surprised that I never
noticed this particular shrub around here before!
