Galium Multiflorum Var. Coloradoense

Colorado bedstraw, scientifically known as Galium multiflorum var. coloradoense, is a delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Colorado. It thrives in moist, shaded environments such as meadows and forest floors, often found in alpine and subalpine habitats. The plant is characterized by its slender stems, opposite leaves, and clusters of small white or pinkish flowers that bloom in early summer. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining ecological balance. Due to habitat loss and climate change, this rare species is becoming increasingly threatened, making conservation efforts essential for its survival.
