Myosotis goyenii Petrie
Perennial herb with stout branched stock with one or several rosettes. Lvs spathulate, 3-7-(14) cm. × 3-14 mm., tip subacute, petiole longer than lamina; hairs alike on both surfaces, short, stiff, straight, closely appressed, barely overlapping, rather sparser on undersurface, clinging to margin. Lateral branches few, ascending or erect, sts again branched, 8-20-(30) cm. long, internodes c. = lvs. Uppermost stem-lvs 10-20 × 2-5 mm., narrow-oblong, sessile, tip acuminate-acute; hairs as on rosette-lvs but more crowded. Cymes ebracteate, on long lfless peduncles, simple or once (occ. twice) forked; internodes between lower fls becoming > calyx; pedicels occ. up to 5 mm. long. Calyx c. 4mm. long, lobes > 1/2 length, very narrow, acute; hairs us. all short, straight, stiff and appressed as on rest of plant, very crowded at base, evenly covering lobes. Corolla "pale-yellow to nearly white", c. 7-10 mm. diam., tube 7-8 mm. long, narrow-funnelform, inconspicuous scales below mouth, lobes c. 3 × 3 mm.; filaments very short, fixed below (occ. much below) scales, anthers 1·5 mm. long, tips at or below level of scales; style much > calyx; stigma capitate. Nutlets 2·2 × 1.1 mm., the few seen long pointed and sharply keeled.
