Galium Erythrorrhizon Var. Pulvinatum

Galium erythrorrhizon var. pulvinatum is a lesser-known yet fascinating member of the Rubiaceae family. This variant of the common wood sorrel is often found in shaded, moist environments across eastern North America. Its small, clustered flowers and heart-shaped leaves make it easily identifiable in the wild. Despite its delicate appearance, it plays an important role in local ecosystems by supporting pollinators and providing habitat for small organisms. Its unique characteristics make it a valuable subject for botanical study and conservation efforts.
