Of more than 510 recorded species names, only 152 species are presently accepted, listed below. Many of the species in New Zealand are threatened. Myosotis species are food for the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including the setaceous Hebrew character. Ecology Hover fly ( Sphaerophoria scripta) feeding on a Myosotis flower Genetic analysis indicates that the genus originated in the Northern Hemisphere, and that species native to New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea, and South America form a lineage of closely related species that are likely derived from a single dispersal event to the Southern Hemisphere. One or two European species, especially Myosotis sylvatica, the "woodland" forget-me-not, have been introduced into most of the temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Only those native to the Northern Hemisphere are colloquially called "forget-me-nots". In locales where they are not native, they frequently escape to wetlands and riverbanks. Despite this, Myosotis species are now common throughout temperate latitudes because of the introduction of cultivars and alien species. A few species occur elsewhere, including North America, South America, and Papua New Guinea. The genus is largely restricted to western Eurasia, with about 60 confirmed species, and New Zealand with around 40 endemic species. Myosotis scorpioides is colloquially called scorpion grass because of the spiraling curvature of its inflorescence. Seeds can be collected by placing a sheet of paper under stems and shaking the seed pods onto the paper. The pods attach to clothing when brushed against and eventually fall off, leaving the small seed within the pod to germinate elsewhere. ![]() The seeds are contained in small, tulip-shaped pods along the stem to the flower. ![]() They typically flower in spring or soon after the melting of snow in alpine ecosystems. Their foliage is alternate, and their roots are generally diffuse. Flowers are typically 1 cm in diameter or less, flatly faced, coloured blue, pink, white or yellow with yellow centres and borne on scorpioid cymes. Myosotis species are annual or perennial, herbaceous, flowering plants with penta merous actinomorphic flowers with five sepals and petals. The type species is Myosotis scorpioides. The genus was originally described by Carl Linnaeus. Plants of the genus are commonly confused with Chatham Islands' forget-me-nots, which belong to the related genus Myosotidium. Myosotis alpestris is the official flower of Alaska and Dalsland, Sweden. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are colloquially known as forget-me-nots or scorpion grasses. The name comes from the Ancient Greek μυοσωτίς "mouse's ear", which the foliage is thought to resemble.
