Myosotis azorica is a perennial herb with decumbent stems up to 30 cm (12 inches) tall.

Flowers are borne in "scorpioid cymes," i.e. on spirally curving stems resembling a scorpion's tail or a half-unfurled fiddlehead fern leaf.

[3][4] Myosotis azorica is endemic to the western Azores, occurring only on the westernmost islands of Flores and Corvo.

Reports from other islands in the Azores are confusions with the related Myosotis maritima, a strictly coastal species.

Its native range covers less than 15 square kilometres (5.8 sq mi), with the total number of individuals estimated at less than 50, so the species is vulnerable.
