Galium Pumilum Subsp. Rivulare

Water bedstraw, scientifically known as Galium pumilum subsp. rivulare, is a low-growing herbaceous plant native to wetland and streamside habitats. It thrives in moist, shaded environments and is commonly found along riverbanks and in marshy areas. Its tiny, white flowers bloom in clusters, adding a delicate touch to its foliage. The plant has a sprawling growth habit, often forming dense mats that help stabilize soil. Due to its preference for wet conditions, it plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of riparian zones.
