Dicentra Uniflora Modoc Closeup
''Dicentra'' ( Greek ''dÃs'' "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. Description Flowers have two tiny sepals and four petals. 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. In ''Dicentra'', all leaves are in a basal rosette, and flowers are on leafless stalks. In other genera with bisymmetric heart-shaped flowers ('' Lamprocapnos'', ''Dactylicapnos'', ''Ichtyoselmis'', ''Ehrendorferia''), leaves grow on stems as well as from the root. Each of the two compound stamens is composed of one median and two lateral half stamens fused together. The stamens and pistil are held between the inner petals. Seeds with elaiosomes are borne in long capsules. All parts are poisonous if i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
