Distinguishing Feature : Prostrate upon the ground, with greyish-green leaves looking more like a succullent (Sedum) than a member of the Borage Family. Flowers typical of many members of the Borage family: pinky-purple turning to blue. Flowers tubular with 5 end-lobes, or petals.

Grows on shingle near the sea. Decreasing in extent, now confined mostly to Scotland. The leaves taste of oysters, hence the common name.
