Water Forget-me-not naming

There seems to be some confusion over the correct name for Water Forget-me-not.

Web bases searches give Myosotis palustris & Myosotis scorpioides as the naming for these flowers where as my reference books only give M. palustris with no reference to M. scorpioides at all.

Whilst I am inclined to believe my books over the web does anybody have any info on this or pointers to an information source that will clear this up.

I'm actually trying to identify these attached piccys, the first one is Wood Forget-me-not and the other (2nd) might be Water Forget-me-not ?.
