''Heliotropium'' 〔''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607〕 is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae. There are 250 to 300 species in this genus, which are commonly known as heliotropes (sg. ). ==Etymology== The name "heliotrope" derives from the old idea that the inflorescences of these plants turned their rows of flowers to the sun.〔Chittenden, Fred J. Ed., Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening, Oxford 1951〕 Ἥλιος (''helios'') is Greek for "sun", τροπεῖν (''tropein'') means "to turn". The Middle English name "turnsole" has the same meaning.
