Lithospermum tuberosum, commonly called the southern stoneseed[1] or tuberous stoneseed,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the forget-me-not family. It is native to the Southeastern United States,[3] where it is found in calcareous woodlands.
It produces a cyme of yellow flowers in spring.
It is distinguished from the similar Lithospermum latifolium by having more obtuse leaves, which are clustered in a basal rosette as well as on the main stem.
