Galium Watsonii Subsp. Puberulum

Galium watsonii subsp. puberulum is a lesser-known member of the Rubiaceae family, native to specific regions of North America. This subspecies is distinguished by its hairy stems and small, clustered flowers that bloom in late spring. It thrives in moist, shaded environments such as woodlands and stream banks. Due to its limited distribution, it is often overlooked in favor of more common flora. Understanding and preserving this unique plant is essential for maintaining biodiversity in its natural habitat.
