What plant is starflower oil from?

Starflower oil, also known as borage seed oil, is extracted from the seeds of the annual flowering plant _Borago officinalis_, commonly known as borage or starflower. It is native to parts of Europe, North Africa, and western Asia and has been used traditionally for its potential health benefits. Borage plants typically produce blue, star-shaped flowers that emerge around June and July. The tiny black seeds contained within these flowers yield the precious starflower oil when pressed.
