Derivation of the botanical name:
Echium, echis, "a viper," the nutlets appearing to represent a viper's head.
glomeratum, collected closely together into a head.
Bugloss(Greek origin), means ox tongue, apparently because of the roughness of the leaves.
- The standard author abbreviation Poiret is used to indicate Jean Louis Marie Poiret (1755 – 1834), a French clergyman, botanist and explorer.
