Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Lindelofia (Friedrich von Lindelof, a German patron of botany). Boraginaceae. Two species of erect hardy herbaceous perennials from the high Himalayas, one cultivated for the flowers resembling forget-me-not.

This genus has the habit and nutlets of Cynoglossum, but the stamens of Cynoglossum are included, while those of Lindelofia are exserted: lvs. radical and cauline, the latter alternate and ovate to linear-lanceolate: fls. blue or purple, often very dark, in long dense racemes; sepals somewhat enlarged in fr.; corolla with cylindrical tube and cone-like scales in the throat, the lobes obtuse; stamens 5, with large linear-oblong anthers; ovary 4-lobed: nutlets with hook-tipped bristles.
