About Galium trifidum L.
Galium trifidum L., commonly called three-petal bedstraw, is a species of flowering plant in the coffee family. It grows widely across arctic, temperate, and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Its distribution includes northern and central Asia, specifically Siberia, the Russian Far East, China, Korea, Japan, and Kazakhstan; northern and eastern Europe, specifically Scandinavia, France, Austria, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic states; and much of North America, ranging from Greenland and the Aleutians as far south as Oaxaca and Hispaniola. This plant is most often a perennial herb that forms tangles of thin stems reaching up to half a meter in length. The stems are ringed with whorls of several linear to oval-shaped leaves. Its inflorescence is a cluster of small white or pinkish flowers, each of which typically has three petal-like lobes in its corolla.
