Myosotis is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae, commonly called forget-me-nots. Its species are known for small, often blue flowers with yellow centers.

Boraginaceae: Boraginaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes borage, comfrey, and forget-me-nots. Myosotis belongs to this family, whose shared traits help place the genus among flowering plants.
Myosotis sylvatica: Myosotis sylvatica is a short-lived perennial species commonly grown as a garden forget-me-not. It is among the best-known cultivated species in the genus.
Myosotis alpestris: Myosotis alpestris is a forget-me-not species associated with alpine and subalpine habitats. It illustrates the genus's presence in high-elevation environments and is Alaska's state flower.
Carl Linnaeus: Carl Linnaeus was a Swedish botanist who established the binomial system widely used to name species. Linnaeus published the genus name Myosotis in his system of plant classification.
Angiosperm: An angiosperm is a flowering plant whose seeds develop inside an ovary, usually enclosed by fruit. Myosotis produces flowers and enclosed seeds, placing it within this broad plant group.
Myosotis scorpioides: Myosotis scorpioides is a perennial forget-me-not that typically grows in wet habitats. Its preference for damp ground makes it useful in waterside and bog gardens.
Myosotis arvensis: Myosotis arvensis is an annual or biennial forget-me-not found in fields and disturbed ground. This widespread species contrasts with garden forms and wetland specialists in the genus.
Greek language: Greek is an ancient language whose vocabulary supplied scientific names across many fields. Myosotis derives from Greek words meaning 'mouse' and 'ear,' describing the shape of some leaves.
Inflorescence: An inflorescence is the arrangement of flowers on a plant stem or branch. Forget-me-not flowers are commonly arranged in coiled clusters that unroll as they bloom.
Forget-me-not: Forget-me-not is the common name for flowering plants in the genus Myosotis. The common name connects the botanical genus to familiar garden and cultural references.
