Galium odorata / Kurumabasou クルマバソウ

 
Galium odorata is a perennial herb borne in forests in mountainous regions, stems growing to 20-30cm in height without branching, with whorls of six to ten leaves around them. The leaves, with no petioles, are narrow, long-oblong, or oblanceolate, 1.5-4cm in length and 3-13mm in width. Correctly, the phyllotaxis of this species is opposite; 2 out of 6-10 are real opposite leaves, and the other 4-8 are stipules - seemingly no differences in shape and size. Stem tips bear cymes and set 4-12 white flowers in them. Corollas are funnel-shaped with tips cleft in four, and stamens are four in number. Bloom time: May-July.
