Close up of leaf should help. Galium elegans (Galium rotundifolium) if leaves 3-nerved from base.


Yes …, leaves are 3-nerved from base. have a look at cropped images here.


I think yes

After looking for the 4-leaved Galium with three veins, I found that it is quite common here. It is flowering now and I am sharing some photos here. Please advise if I am misidentifying it.

Which Galium is this ?

Thank you … I checked beforehand but I could not nail the ID .


G verum considering that flowers are yellow, not white


G. verum also not listed in Nepal and seems not matching with images in the web.

Won’t comment on the net but FOH Polunin, Stainton describes both sp clearly. I have seen one of them.


Noted with thanks.  I shall check.


I have checked the book ant it is there but the distribution is from Pakistan to Himanchal Pradesh which does not touch Nepal and distance is too far for escapes.


Pl. check with species available in efi site at Galium.


After going through all the species in checklist of Nepal, I think closest I can go is Galium elegans Wall. ex Roxb. only as per images, details and references herein and as per comparative images at Galium

Yes …, this is correct ID.
