*Lamprocapnos Endlicher. Tribe: Corydaleae. Asian Bleeding Heart.
A monotypic genus, a perennial herb of e. Asia. Phen: Apr-May. Hab: Persistent or perhaps weakly spreading from horticultural use. Dist: Native of Japan.
ID notes: Lamprocapnos differs from other "bleeding hearts" (the native Dicentra eximia and the western American Dicentra formosa ssp. formosa) in its leafy stem, the inflorescence borne terminally or opposite a leaf, the leaves much less finely divided, and the flowers about as broad as long (vs. much longer than broad in Dicentra eximia and Dicentra formosa).
