Galium
trachyspermum, a perennial herb borne on paths between
paddies or roadsides, grows to 20- 50 cm tall. Stems are
4-ridged and slender, and occasionally lie down on the ground.
Leaves are in whorls of four, each 0.6-1.5 cm long and 3-6 mm
wide, oval-long-oblong to oval, with short, pointed tips and
white hairs on the margins and backsides. Two leaves out of the
4 are genuine, and the other 2 are leaf-like stipules -
generally a bit smaller than the actual leaves. Stem tips or
axils bear inflorescences that set some light yellow-green
flowers about 1mm across. Bloom time: May- June.
