Myosotis latifolia is a species of forget-me-not known by the common name broadleaf forget-me-not. It is native to the Canary Islands, and it is known elsewhere as an introduced species, including the west coast of the United States.[1] It grows in many types of habitat, including moist, shaded, disturbed areas. It is a perennial herb sometimes exceeding half a meter in height. The leaves are generally oval in shape, the largest at the woody base of the stem. The inflorescence is a coiled or curved array of tiny hairy flowers at the top of the stem. The tubular flower has a flat pink or blue face up to a centimeter wide.
