Galium sylvaticum, commonly known as Scotch mist or wood bedstraw, is a plant species of the genus Rubiaceae. It is native to central Europe: France, Italy, Germany, Poland, the former Yugoslavia and smaller countries in between.[1][2] It is also naturalized in scattered locations in North America (Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Ontario, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Washington and Oregon).[3]
It is a perennial, highly branched herb with thin stems. Its leaves are in whorls of six, each narrowly linear. Flowers are in open terminal panicles, each white and four-petaled.[2]
