Thanks for letting me know the LATEST name change of this plant!
The IDENTIFICATION is correct - we are talking about the same plant.
Isn't it about time THEY decided it belonged to a different family rather
thanBoraginaceae......
Strictly-speaking one needs to check the species, genus and family EVERY time!!
I have MUCH sympathy for non-botanists as at times I get fed-up with the
changes...

I attach 4 images scanned in from slides taken in Ladakh in the 1980s
ofLindelofia macrostyla which L.anchusoides as I knew it, has been changed to.
My team collected this at Panichar, Suru Valley during the University of
SouthamptonLadakh Expedition 1980. 3300m, steep, E-facing slope, moist loam,
grasses and umbellifers(now Apiaceae family) with Hippophae rhamnoides susbp.
turkestanica, petals blue, palemauve-pin flower-buds, to 60cm.
Whilst members of the University of Southampton Zanskar Expedition in 1981
found it at abundantat 3350m in dry sandy soil in valley bottom.
Flowers of Himalaya describe this (which they knew as L.anchusoides) as
commonin Lahul and Ladakh on stony slopes & 2100-3600m from Afghanistan to
Himachal Pradesh.
Stewart (who knew it as L.anchusoides) recorded it as common from N.Pakistan,
Kashmir& Ladakh @ 1500-4000m.
Flora of Lahaul-Spiti record this (as L.anchusoides) as common on dry, sandy
slopes at Jispa.
Dickore & Klimes in their checklist of Ladakh plants (2005) also knew it as
L.anchusoides, so thechange to L.macrostyla must be recent.
