Derivation of the botanical name:
Echium, echis, "a viper," the nutlets appearing to represent a viper's head.
angustifolium, angustus, "drawn together, narrow"; folium, leaf; meaning narrow leaved.
Bugloss(Greek origin), means ox tongue, apparently because of the roughness of the leaves.
- The standard author abbreviation Miller is used to indicate Philip Miller (1691 – 1771), a botanist of Scottish descent.
