Leucothoe davisiae is a species of flowering plant in the heath family known by the common name Sierra laurel. It is native to the mountains of eastern and northern California, including the Klamath Mountains, in which its distribution extends just into southern Oregon. It is a shrub growing in wet mountain habitat, such as bogs. This shrub grows erect, exceeding one meter in height. Its leathery, hairless oval leaves are 1 to 6 centimeters long and evergreen. The inflorescence is a hanging cluster of many small urn-shaped white flowers, not unlike those of manzanitas. The fruit is a capsule about half a centimeter long containing many tiny winged seeds.
