Galium pogonanthum,
a perennial found in somewhat dry spots in
mountainous regions, has slender stems and grows to 10-40cm. The
leaves are in four whorls: 1-2.5cm long and 2-3mm wide; each is
significantly different in size (length), with downward white hairs
on the margins. The branch tips generate slender inflorescences with
three pale green, 3mm wide flowers. Corollas are as large as 3mm
wide and cleft into four segments, each having stamens around, which
characterizes this species. Bloom time: May-June. |
