divided and spread in fruit. The stems are usually only 2-3, seldom more than 6 inches high, 
and the leafy part of the stem is very short in comparison with the flowering stem. [ Plate 19. 
Common. On heaths, dry banks, waysides, wall-tops, and waste ground ; generally distributed in 
England, also in Scotland except in the north, only recorded from the east of Ireland. April — 
July. Annual. 
8. Parti-coloured Forget-me-not. (Myosotis versic olor. Reichb.)— A species some 
what similar to the Field Forget-me-not (Myosotis arvensis), but with the flowers always pale yellow 
when they first open, and sometimes changing to pale blue ; the calyx-teeth closing quite over the 
fruit after flowering ; the style nearly as long as the calyx ; the whole plant, however, is only from 
3 inches to about 1 foot high, and is weaker and less hairy than that of the Field Forget-me-not. 
[Plate 19. 
Common. On dry banks, waysides, wall-tops, cultivated and waste ground, thoughout the British
