Question
Hello ive found this plant and TONS of it. Ive been told that it is bedstraw or cleavers. But it isnt sticky like it says bedstraw is. Ive searched all the plants in the galium family and i cannot find it. It has a square stem and it has leaves that grow in groups of 7-8. And when you find it you find A LOT of it. The flowers havent come out yet.
Answer
Dear oiislove, good morning. Because I don't know where these images were taken, I can't offer too much help. Location is vitally important so that we can sort through the nearly 1/2 million species of plants found on this globe. Also, the images you've posted (for some reason) have a different thumbnail than when expanded and viewed larger. This plant may be a species of Galium (they don't have minute barbs that create a scratchy feel). If you want to email more information and images to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org, I will be happy to help further. Best wishes.
