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.[2]

The species was first named Cynoglossum scorpioides by Thaddäus Haenke in 1789. It was later renamed Omphalodes scorpioides.[1] 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.[3]
