merged with article "Forget-me-not"
[edit]"Forget me not" is a common name for a some plants of this genus, so there's really not much difference between the two. A lot of the information there was copied from this article, and the rest fit into the "in pop culture" section. Sesamehoneytart 19:18, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Use of name "Forget-me-not" in English
[edit]The suggestion that forget-me-not was in use from the reign of Henry IV does not seem very likely. The most useful reliable sources for such information are a) the Oxford English Dictionary and b) Geoffrey Grigson's A Dictionary of English Plant Names. Richard Mabey's Flora Britannica may also be useful. I don't have these sources in front of me, but checking with the standard Flora[1] for the early 19th century in Britain shows that the vernacular name for Myosotis in the 1820s was Scorpion Grass.

Forget Me Not?
[edit]The source proving that Myosotis are called forget me nots is http://phylodiversity.net/rwinkworth/publications/files/3.pdf but this article does not include the word "forget" even once?
