Boraginaceae

Also known as Borraginaceae (incorrect spelling)

Boraginaceae, the borage or forget-me-not family, has two significantly different circumscriptions . In the narrower circumscription, Boraginaceae sensu stricto is one of 11 families placed in the order Boraginales and includes about 90–120 genera. This approach was developed by the Boraginales Working Group. In the older, broader circumscription, Boraginaceae sensu lato is the only family in the order Boraginales, and includes about 155 genera.

AI overview

Boraginaceae, commonly known as the borage or forget-me-not family, is a group of flowering plants that scientists classify in different ways depending on whether they use a narrower or broader definition. The family is notable because it contains roughly 90–155 genera of plants, making it a significant group within plant classification, and its exact size and boundaries depend on which scientific circumscription botanists choose to follow.

==Description== These plants have alternately arranged leaves, or a combination of alternate and opposite leaves. The leaf blades usually have a narrow shape; many are linear or lance-shaped. They are smooth-edged or toothed, and some have petioles. Most species have bisexual flowers, but some taxa are dioecious. Most pollination is by hymenopterans, such as bees. Most species have inflorescences that have a coiling shape, at least when new, called scorpioid cymes. The flower has a usually five-lobed calyx. The corolla varies in shape from rotate to bell-shaped to tubular, but it generally has five lobes. It can be green, white, yellow, orange, pink, purple, or blue. There are five stamens and one style with one or two stigmas. The fruit is a drupe, sometimes fleshy.
