Ceanothus parryi
is a species of shrub in the buckthorn family Rhamnaceae known by the common name Parry ceanothus. It is native to Oregon and northern California, where it grows in the canyons of coastal mountain ranges. It is an erect shrub approaching 5 meters in maximum height. The woody parts are reddish brown and woolly when new, darkening with age and shedding most of the hairs. The evergreen leaves are alternately arranged, oval in shape and edged with hairy teeth. They are dark green and hairless on the upper surfaces, paler and woolly on the undersides. The flower cluster is a long cluster of deep blue flowers, up to about 15 centimeters long. The fruit is a smooth, 3-lobed capsule a few millimeters long.
