'''Boraginaceae''', the [[Borago|borage]] or [[forget-me-not]] family, includes a variety of [[shrub]]s, [[tree]]s, and [[herb]]s, totaling about 2,000 species in 146 [[genus|genera]] found worldwide.

According to the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|APG II]], the Boraginaceae belongs among the euasterid I group, including the orders [[Gentianales]], [[Lamiales]], and [[Solanales]], but whether it should be assigned to one of these orders or to its own ([[Boraginales]]) is still uncertain.  Under the older [[Cronquist system]] it was included in Lamiales, but it is now clear that it is no more similar to the other families in this order than they are to families in several other asterid orders. The Boraginaceae is [[paraphyly|paraphyletic]] with respect to [[Hydrophyllaceae]] and the latter is included in the former in the APG II system. In some recent classifications{{which|date=November 2016}} the Boraginaceae is broken up into several families: Boraginaceae ''[[sensu|sensu stricto]]'', [[Cordiaceae]], [[Ehretiaceae]], [[Heliotropiaceae]], [[Lennoaceae]], and Hydrophyllaceae.
 
 
 
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 [[petiole (botany)|petioles]]. Most species have bisexual flowers, but some taxa are [[dioecy|dioecious]]. Most [[pollination]] is by [[hymenoptera]]ns, such as [[bee]]s. Most species have [[inflorescence]]s that have a coiling shape, at least when new. The flower has a usually five-lobed [[sepal|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 [[stamen]]s and one [[gynoecium|style]] with one or two stigmas. The fruit is a [[drupe]], sometimes fleshy.<ref>Watson, L. and M. J. Dallwitz. 1992 onwards. [http://delta-intkey.com/angio/www/boragina.htm Boraginaceae Juss.] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050701084640/http://delta-intkey.com/angio/www/boragina.htm |date=July 1, 2005 }} The Families of Flowering Plants. Version: 19 August 2013.</ref>
 
 
 
Most members of this family have hairy leaves. The coarse character of the hairs is due to [[cystolith]]s of [[silicon dioxide]] and [[calcium carbonate]]. These hairs can induce an adverse skin reaction, including itching and rash in some individuals, particularly among people who handle the plants regularly, such as gardeners.  In some species, [[anthocyanin]]s cause the flowers to change color from red to blue with age. This is may be a signal to [[pollinator]]s that a flower is old and depleted of [[pollen]] and [[nectar]].<ref>Hess, D. 2005. ''Systematische Botanik''. {{ISBN|3-8252-2673-5}}</ref>
