About Myosotis macrosperma Engelm.
Myosotis macrosperma, commonly known as largeseed forget-me-not, is a species of flowering plant that belongs to the borage family, Boraginaceae. It is native to North America, occurring in the eastern United States and Ontario, Canada. It grows in a broad range of natural habitats, including bottomland forests, mesic forests, and prairies. It is typically associated with nutrient-rich soils. This species is tolerant of disturbance, and can even grow in highly degraded communities such as pastures and fallow fields. Myosotis macrosperma is an herbaceous annual plant. It blooms in spring, producing a cyme of white flowers. It can be told apart from the visually similar Myosotis verna, which shares much of the same geographic range, by several distinct characteristics. Myosotis macrosperma can be distinguished by its longer inflorescence nodes, larger and more deciduous calyx, and larger mericarps.
