Lappula (diminutive of lappa, a bur). Boraginaceae. Annual, biennial or perennial herbs, of probably forty species, some of them native in North America. They are related to Myosotis, but lack sufficient horticultural character to bring them into the trade-lists. In the older manuals they are known under the name Echinospermum. The four little nutlets are burs and adhere to clothing, and the plants are mostly weedy in appearance. The flowers are blue or whitish, small, in spikes or racemes. CH
