Myosotidium (Greek, like a myosotis or forget- me-not). Boraginaceae. Giant Forget-me-not. A monotypic genus confined to the Chatham Isls., off New Zealand, a promising blue-flowered herb for mild climates.<br />
<br />
Myosotidium differs from Myosotis in its greater size, mostly large radical lvs., and large winged nutlets. M. nobile, Hook. (Cynoglossum nobile, Hook, f.), is a stout pilose perennial with long thick cylindrical root stock, succulent. 1-3 ft. high: radical lvs. broadly ovate- cordate or nearly reniform, petioled, thick and fleshy. 6-12 in. long, but becoming much larger under good conditions in cult.; cauline lvs. few, oblong or broad- ovate, sessile: fls. scentless, dark blue in center and lighter toward the edges (a white-fld. form is reported) in dense corymbose cymes which are 3-6 in. across: calyx deeply 5-parted, the lobes broad-oblong and obtuse; corolla rotate, ½in. diam., the tube short and the rounded lobes spreading: fr. to ¾in. diam. Sandy soil near the sea "once very abundant on the coast-line of the Chatham Isls.," according to Cheeseman, "but now fast becoming rare in a wild state." B.M. 5137. Gn. 30:566; 50, p. 150; 71, p. 143; 75, p. 580. G.C. II. 25:681; III. 21:293; 44:7; 54:47. G.M. 31:219; 52:87. J.H. III. 32:327. G. 32:355. R.H. 1908, pp. 370, 371.—In the south of England near the sea the plant thrives well, making fl.-heads 8 in. across, and with foliage as strong as that of rhubarb; it needs to be renewed from seeds. It is reported not to have succeeded at Santa Barbara.<br />
