Dicentra (Greek dís "twice", kéntron "spur"), [3] known collectively as the bleeding-hearts, is a genus containing eight species of herbaceous flowering perennial plants with unique, "heart"-shaped flowers and finely divided foliage. The species are, primarily, native to North America, although several are found in temperate East Asia.
The heart-shaped basal leaves have hairy stalks up to 20 cm (8 in) long. Both sides of the leaf blade have uniformly scattered hairs. The erect flowering stem is 15–40 cm (6–16 in) long, with a terminal raceme of 15–50 flowers. The flowers are white, small and feathery, giving the flower cluster a fuzzy appearance.
The generic name Cardiospermum, which translates to "heart seeds", was given due to its large, black seeds, the white mark of which is reminiscent of a stylized heart. The specific epithet halicacabum comes from the Greek word for salt barrel and refers to the inflated fruits, after which the common name balloon vine is derived.
