Adelinia grandis, previously known as Cynoglossum grande, is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known as Pacific hound's tongue.[1] It is the only species in the genus Adelinia.
The genus name of Adelinia is in honour of Adeline Etta Cohen (b. 2014), daughter of the American botanist and author of the plant, James I.Cohen.[2]
Pacific hound's tongue is native to western North America from British Columbia to California, where it grows in shady areas in woodland and chaparral. On the forest floor of California oak woodlands typical plant associates are Calochortus luteus, Delphinium variegatum and Calochortus amabilis.[3] It is a perennial herb producing an erect stem 30 to 90 centimeters tall from a taproot. The leaves are mostly located around the base of the plant, each with an oval blade up to 15 centimeters long held on a petiole. The inflorescence is a panicle of flowers on individual pedicels. Each five-lobed flower is bright to deep blue with white appendages at the center. It is 1 to 1.5 centimeters wide. The fruit is an array of four slightly bristly nutlets.[4]
Native Americans made a preparation of the roots to treat burns and stomach aches.[5]

Cynoglossum grande, llamado borraja, es una planta de la familia Boraginaceae.
Crece en áreas sombrías de California. Su nombre de lengua le viene del parecido con sus hojas que son de color bronce cuando comienzan a desplegarse. Las flores son de color azul-blanca y crecen en un tallo central erecto.
Cynoglossum grande fue descrita por Douglas ex Lehm. y publicado en Novarum et Minus Cognitarum Stirpium Pugillus 2: 25–26. 1830.[1]
Cynoglossum: nombre genérico que deriva del griego cyno = "perro" y glossum = "lengua", refiriéndose a su parecido con la lengua de un perro.
grande: epíteto latino que significa "grande".[2]
