Omphalodes
''Omphalodes'' (navelwort) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae, widely distributed in the temperate Northern Hemisphere. In spring they produce blue or white flowers similar to forget-me-nots. Both the Greek ''Omphalodes'' (navel-like) and the English "navelwort" refer to the shape of the seeds. '' O. verna'' and cultivars of '' O. cappadocica'' are grown in gardens for their blue flowers which in spring appear above the leaves in loose sprays. They are woodland plants, preferring some shade. Systematics The genus ''Omphalodes'' traditionally contained many species that have been split-off in 2014 and 2016 The Japanese "''Omphalodes''" and "''Omphalodes scorpioides''" turned out not to be closely related to ''Omphalodes'', and were separated as distinct genera, ''Nihon'' and '' Memoremea'' respectively. Serrano et al. separated the Iberian annual species as '' Iberodes''. This left the remainder of species from Western Eurasia as sister to New World speci ...

Omphalodes Verna
''Omphalodes verna'', the creeping navelwort or blue-eyed-Mary, is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant in the genus ''Omphalodes'' belonging to the family Boraginaceae. Etymology The genus name ''Omphalodes'' derives from the Greek word , meaning navel, referring to the shape of the small fruits, while the name ''verna'' of the species, deriving from the Latin , refers to the early blooming flowers. Description ''Omphalodes verna'' can reach in height. The stem snakes across the ground (hence the alternative name of creeping forget-me-not). The overwintering buds are situated just below the soil surface ( hemicryptophyte). This species can spread quickly, it is hard to uproot and by some accounts may even be invasive, but mostly coexists with other plants well. Its leaves are grooved, semi-evergreen and medium green, about long and wide. They are veiny, with fine hairs and oval to heart in shape, and pointed at the tip. In Spring the plant produces clusters of 3-5 p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mimophytum
''Mimophytum'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. The species occur in Northeastern Mexico and adjacent areas of Texas, United States. They are similar to the closely related genus ''Omphalodes'' but a distinct group. Morphology ''Mimophytum'' species are (sub-)perennial herbs, either with a rhizome or erect. The leaves have petioles and are heart-shaped or rhombic. They produce blue flowers similar to forget-me-nots. The fruits consist of four winged nutlets. The nutlet wing can be turned upwards, creating a navel-like shape, similar to the fruits of ''Omphalodes''. In two species, '' M. alienum'' and '' M. alienoides'', there are two differently shaped fruits: two navel-like nutlets and two nutlets with flat wings. In three species, '' M. omphalodoides'', '' M. benitomartinezii'', and '' M. richardsonii'', the wings of the navel-shaped nutlets are beset with small barbed glochidia. Systematics The barbed glochidia on the nutlet wing was a character that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Omphalodes Cappadocica
''Omphalodes cappadocica'', the Cappadocian navelwort, is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, native to woodland habitats in Turkey. It is an evergreen perennial growing to tall by wide, with slightly hairy, oval pointed leaves and loose terminal racemes of bright blue flowers with white eyes, similar to forget-me-nots, appearing in spring. This plant is valued in cultivation as groundcover for moist, shady situations, such as woodland plantings. The species and the cultivar 'Cherry Ingram' are recipients of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Etymology ''Omphalodes'' is derived from Greek and means 'navel-like'; this is a reference to the shape of the fruit of navel wort.Gledhill, David (2008). "The Names of Plants".

Selkirkia (plant)
''Selkirkia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family (biology), family Boraginaceae. Three species occur on the South American mainland and one, ''Selkirkia berteroi'' (sometimes written ''berteri''), the first of the genus to be reported, is an endemism, endemic on Robinson Crusoe Island off the coast of Chile. It was previously considered a monotypic genus. Morphology ''Selkirkia'' species are perennial, either a shrub (''S. berteroi'') or decumbent, ascending or erect herbs to subshrubs. The leaves are ovate to lanceolate, and mostly occurring along the stem, not in rosettes. The corolla is white (''S. berteroi'') or blue to violet. The fruits consist of four nutlets, which are beset with barbed glochids, and superficially similar to the fruits of Cynoglossum, hound's tongues. The fruits of ''S. berteroi'' are somewhat winged and seemingly attached to the style but in fact, like the other three species, on a pyramidal gynobase. Distribution and conservation The four s ...

Myosotidium Hortensia
''Myosotidium'' is a genus of plants belonging to the family Boraginaceae. This genus is represented by the single species ''Myosotidium hortensia'', the Chatham Islands lily, giant forget-me-not or Chatham Islands forget-me-not, which is endemic to the Chatham Islands, New Zealand. In the Maori language, it is known by the name kopukapuka. The biogeography is yet unresolved, but its ancestors may have originated from the American continent, as ''Myosotidium hortensia'' was found to be sister to the South American plant genus ''Selkirkia'' and both genera being sister to the North American genus ''Mimophytum''. ''Myosotidium hortensia'' is a fleshy herb In general use, herbs are a widely distributed and widespread group of plants, excluding vegetables and other plants consumed for macronutrients, with savory or aromatic properties that are used for flavoring and garnishing food, for medicinal ... with large orbicular somewhat fleshy leaves and appearingly parallel leaf ven ...

Boraginaceae Genera
Boraginaceae, the borage or forget-me-not family, includes about 2,000 species of shrubs, trees and herbs in 146, to 156 genera with a worldwide distribution. The APG IV system from 2016 classifies the Boraginaceae as single family of the order Boraginales within the asterids. Under the older Cronquist system it was included in Lamiales, but it is now clear that it is no more similar to the other families in this order than they are to families in several other asterid orders. A revision of the Boraginales, also from 2016, split the Boraginaceae in eleven distinct families: Boraginaceae ''sensu stricto'', Codonaceae, Coldeniaceae, Cordiaceae, Ehretiaceae, Heliotropiaceae, Hoplestigmataceae, Hydrophyllaceae, Lennoaceae, Namaceae, and Wellstediaceae. These plants have alternately arranged leaves, or a combination of alternate and opposite leaves. The leaf blades usually have a narrow shape; many are linear or lance-shaped. They are smooth-edged or toothed, and some have petio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Forget-me-nots
''Myosotis'' ( ) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. The name comes from the Ancient Greek "mouse's ear", which the foliage is thought to resemble. In the northern hemisphere they are colloquially known as forget-me-nots or scorpion grasses. ''Myosotis alpestris'' is the official flower of Alaska and Dalsland, Sweden. Plants of the genus are commonly confused with Chatham Islands' forget-me-nots, which belong to the related genus ''Myosotidium''. Description The genus was originally described by Carl Linnaeus. The type species is ''Myosotis scorpioides''. ''Myosotis'' species are annual or perennial herbaceous flowering plants with pentamerous actinomorphic flowers with 5 sepals and petals. 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. The foliage is alternate, and their roots are generally diffuse. They typically flower in spring or soon after th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
