Galium kinuta / Kinutasou キヌタソウ

 

Galium kinuta is a perennial herb inhabiting forest edges in mountainous regions. Stems are square with generally no hairs, erect to 30-60cm in height, and rarely branch. Leaves with no petioles are in whorls of four, in the shape of an oval-lanceolate or lanceolate, 2-8cm in length, 8-25mm in width, with slender and pointed tips, and three prominent veins on the surfaces. The texture feels hard. Stem tips bear cymes with many white flowers set sparsely within them. Corollas measure approximately 2.5cm in diameter, with tips cleft into four parts. Stamens are four in number. Bloom time: July-September.
