Myosotis sylvatica, the wood forget-me-not<\/b> or woodland forget-me-not<\/b>,[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> is a species<\/span><\/a> of flowering plant<\/span><\/a> in the family<\/span><\/a> Boraginaceae<\/span><\/a>, native<\/span><\/a> to Europe.
\nIt is a short-lived <\/span>herbaceous<\/span><\/a> perennial<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>biennial<\/span><\/a> growing to 12\u201330\u00a0cm (5\u201312\u00a0in) tall by 15\u00a0cm (6\u00a0in) wide,<\/span> with hairy leaves and a profusion of disc-shaped, intensely blue (occasionally white) flowers in Spring.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Stace[2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> describes this plant as having the following characteristics:
\n<\/span>Upright, to 50 cm; softly hairy, with hairs at more-or-less right-angles to the main stem.
\n<\/span>Flowers grey-blue, to 8mm across, flat in profile; <\/span>sepal<\/span><\/a> tube with hooked hairs; April\u2013July.[3]<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/sup><\/span>Mature fruit dark brown, shiny.
\n<\/span>Mature <\/span>calyx<\/span><\/a> on spreading stalks longer than <\/span>sepal<\/span><\/a> tube; <\/span>calyx<\/span><\/a> teeth spreading to expose the ripe fruit.
\n<\/span>Basal leaves stalked, in a rosette; upper leaves not stalked.
\n<\/span>Generally found in woods, scree and rock ledges; common throughout the British Isles.

Myosotis alpestris<\/i><\/span> ??<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Thank you … and …,\u00a0 about it being Myosotis alpestris<\/i>… 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<\/p>\n

\n
Can it be Myosotis stricta<\/i> as per<\/div>\n

\nOr is it <\/span>Myosotis laxa<\/i> subsp. caespitosa<\/i> (Schultz) Hyl. ex Nordh.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as per images by … herein ?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

By no means a Primula<\/i>….it is a Boraginaceae<\/i> member<\/p>\n

\n

Or can it be Myosotis refracta<\/i> subsp. chitralica<\/i> Kazmi as per FOP<\/span><\/a>\u00a0& illustration<\/span><\/a> herein.
\nDoes not seem to match with images of <\/span>Myosotis stricta<\/i> at <\/span>Flowers of India<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>Wikipedia<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>usda<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/i><\/span>Flowers – NatureGate<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span>Seem more close to <\/span>Myosotis laxa<\/i> subsp. caespitosa<\/i> (Schultz) Hyl. ex Nordh.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as per <\/span>FOC illustration<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Once again I consider M.laxa<\/i> subsp. <\/u>laxa<\/i> is ruled out because we can (just) detect some spreading hairs on the calyces.<\/div>\n
M.stricta\/ refracta<\/i> does not fit.<\/div>\n
So we are down to M.arvensis<\/i> or M.sylvatica<\/i> again (not forgetting M.asiatica<\/i>, which I had on the two previous occasions but does not fit this).
\nThis appears less branched than two previous examples and what appear larger flowers.\u00a0I am thus thinking of <\/span>M.sylvatica<\/i> on this occasion.<\/span><\/div>\n

Herb for ID from Chopta Forest Uttarakhand-07012022-2<\/a>: 5 high res. images.
\nPlease help with the ID of this herb,<\/span> Myosotis?,<\/em>
\nclicked from Chopta forest, Uttarakhand, 1-6-2013<\/span><\/p>\n
\n

As per\u00a0BSI checklist<\/a>, two species agave\u00a0distribution in Uttarakhand:
\nMyosotis arvensis<\/a>
\nMyosotis sylvatica<\/a>
\nKeys are available in\u00a0Flora of Pakistan<\/a>.
\nBoth species are rather close.
\nYou may decide between the two.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Based on flower size it should be M. sylvatica<\/em>, but never seen white flowers in Myosotis.<\/em><\/p>\n
