Galium trachyspermum,
a perennial herb borne on paths between paddies or roadsides, grows
to 20-50cm tall. Stems are 4-ridged and slender, and occasionally
lie down on the ground. Leaves are in whorls of four, each 0.6-1.5cm
in length, 3-6mm in width, in the shape of an oval-long-oblong to
oval, with tips short and pointed, and white hairs on 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 emerge with inflorescences that set some light
yellow-green flowers about 1mm across. Bloom time: May-June. |
