Memoremea scorpioides is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Boraginaceae. It is the sole species in genus Memoremea. Its native range is eastern-central and eastern Europe.
The species was first named Cynoglossum scorpioides by Thaddäus Haenke in 1789. It was later renamed Omphalodes scorpioides. A 2014 phylogenetic study concluded that the species formed a distinct lineage from the other species in Omphalodes, and it was placed in the new genus Memoremea.Otero, Ana & Jiménez-Mejías, Pedro & Valcárcel, Virginia & Vargas, Pablo. (2014). Molecular phylogenetics and morphology support two new genera (Memoremea and Nihon) of Boraginaceae s.s. Phytotaxa. 173. 241–277. 10.11646/phytotaxa.173.4.1.
