''Asclepias cordifolia'' is a species of milkweed commonly called heart-leaf milkweed or purple milkweed (a common name shared with another milkweed, ''Asclepias purpurascens'').〔(''Asclepias cordifolia'' at USDA PLANTS Database )〕 It is native to the western United States (California, Nevada, Oregon), growing between elevation in the northern Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges. Heart-leaf milkweed was valued by the Native American Miwok tribe for its stems, which they dried and processed into string and rope. ==Description==
Heart-leaf milkweed is a perennial that grows to a height of , with dark red-purple flowers whose hoods are slightly elevated above the base of the corolla.〔(Jepson Manual )〕 The flower structure is unusual—it has five stamens fused into a column, with five circular attachments called 'hoods', and an anther head surrounding the large stigma at the flower's center. The fruit (photo at left) is a follicle with many flat seeds that have silky hairs which disperse easily in the wind. The large opposite leaves are cordate, or heart-shaped. The plant grows in open or shaded woodland, often on rocky slopes and in mixed coniferous forest.〔 The milkweeds are named for the milky sap which exudes from the plant's stem.〔 It blooms from May to July.〔
