The genus Dicentra includes plants whose flowers and leaves grow on stems directly from the roots. Seeds with elaiosomes are borne in long capsules. Native to Northeastern Asia's chilly, wet forests, bleeding heart flowers grow in dappled shade, whereas if grown in poorly drained soil and intense shadows they will not bloom or survive. The stamens and pistil are held between the inner petals. Each of the two compound stamens is composed of one median and two lateral half stamens fused together. In other genera with bisymmetric heart-shaped flowers ( Lamprocapnos, Dactylicapnos, Ichtyoselmis, Ehrendorferia), leaves grow on stems as well as from the root. In Dicentra, all leaves are in a basal rosette, and flowers are on leafless stalks. The flowers are bisymmetric: the two outer petals are spurred or pouched at the base and curved outwards or backwards at the tip, and the two inner ones with or without a crest at the tip. Dielytra, orthographic variant of Diclytra ĭicentra ( Greek dís "twice", kéntron "spur"), known as bleeding-hearts, is a genus of eight species of herbaceous plants with oddly shaped flowers and finely divided leaves, native to eastern Asia and North America.įlowers have two tiny sepals and four petals.Genus of flowering plants in the poppy family Papaveraceae
