Also called Water forget-me-not, Forget Me Not, Water Scorpion Grass, Common Water Forget Me Not, European Forget Me Not, Large Forget Me Not, Forget Me Not Water
Myosotis scorpioides (syn. Myosotis palustris), the true forget-me-not or water forget-me-not, is a forget-me-not plant species in the borage family, Boraginaceae.
This herbaceous perennial plant is native to Europe and Asia, but is widely distributed elsewhere, including much of North America, as an introduced species and sometimes a noxious weed. The plant is common and widespread in Britain, but is very rare in Jersey.
