Myosotis sylvatica, the wood forget-me-not or woodland forget-me-not,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, native to Europe. Stace[2] describes this plant as having the following characteristics:
Upright, to 50 cm; softly hairy, with hairs at more-or-less right-angles to the main stem. Flowers grey-blue, to 8mm across, flat in profile; sepal tube with hooked hairs; April–July.[3] Mature fruit dark brown, shiny. Mature calyx on spreading stalks longer than sepal tube; calyx teeth spreading to expose the ripe fruit. Basal leaves stalked, in a rosette; upper leaves not stalked. Generally found in woods, scree and rock ledges; common throughout the British Isles. (from Wikipedia on 31.10.16) . Primulaceae from Pangi – 2- id-Al012312-A:
Another observation of Primula family from Pangi… Location Pangi Valley Himachal Not Primulaceae … It is Boraginaceae Myosotis alpestris ?? Thank you … and …, about it being Myosotis alpestris… I am sure … would be able to tell us a lot about it.. though it looks like it … but I am not aware of the various characteristics of the species… and without the fruits… maybe difficult Can it be Myosotis stricta as per
http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/sf_forget.htm
Or is it Myosotis laxa subsp. caespitosa (Schultz) Hyl. ex Nordh. as per images by … herein ? By no means a Primula….it is a Boraginaceae member Or can it be Myosotis refracta subsp. chitralica Kazmi as per FOP & illustration herein. Once again I consider M.laxa subsp. laxa is ruled out because we can (just) detect some spreading hairs on the calyces.
M.stricta/ refracta does not fit.
So we are down to M.arvensis or M.sylvatica again (not forgetting M.asiatica, which I had on the two previous occasions but does not fit this).
This appears less branched than two previous examples and what appear larger flowers. I am thus thinking of M.sylvatica on this occasion. . Herb for ID from Chopta Forest Uttarakhand-07012022-2: 5 high res. images.
Please help with the ID of this herb, Myosotis?, clicked from Chopta forest, Uttarakhand, 1-6-2013 As per BSI checklist, two species agave distribution in Uttarakhand: Based on flower size it should be M. sylvatica, but never seen white flowers in Myosotis. .
