Mike,

I don't have a seed source for you, but people might be interested to know that the Umpqua Kalmiopsis was named as a separate species, Kalmiopsis fragrans, in 2007.  I have a pdf of the original publication which I could send, let me know by p.m. if you would like me to do so.

Otherwise, here is the link to the Kalmiopsis treatment in Flora of North America, which includes both species:
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=116933
And here is a nice fact sheet on K. fragrans: http://www.oregonflora.org/rarepdfs/kalfra.pdf

Here are some photos of Kalmiopsis fragrans in the wild.
