Myosotis alpestris or alpine forget-me-not is a herbaceous perennial plant in the flowering plant family Boraginaceae.

The alpine forget-me-not is the county flower of Westmorland in the United Kingdom and the state flower of Alaska in the United States.[1] It grows well throughout Alaska in open, rocky places high in the mountains, flowering in midsummer. It is also found throughout the Himalaya range at elevations of 3,000–4,300 metres (9,800–14,100 ft).[2] Native habitats include moist mountainous areas on wooded slopes and grassy meadows.[3]
