Dicentra nevadensis, the Sierra bleeding heart or Tulare County bleeding heart, is a perennial plant endemic to gravelly outcroppings in the Sierra Nevada peaks of Tulare and Fresno Counties in California .[1][2]
It has previously been treated as a subspecies of Dicentra formosa (Pacific bleeding heart).[2][3] The plant is found at elevations of 2,100–3,300 metres (6,900–10,800 ft).[2]

Flowers are heart-shaped, dull white, pink, or yellow-brown, hanging in racemes on bare stems above the leaves. When dried, the flowers turn black. Flowers bloom June to August.[4]
Seeds are borne in a capsule one to two centimeters long.[2]
