If the stem was not rough to the touch, I would have to decide between White Bedstraw (Galium album), Wood Bedstraw (Galium sylvaticum) and Whorled Bedstraw (Galium mollugo). All three of these have inflorescences with 5-20 flowers. This plant seems to have inflorescences with 2-3 flowers. Key:
- Main branches with 5-12 leaves at each node.
- Leaf blades sharply pointed to cuspidate at the apex.
- Corolla 1-7 mm in diameter.
- Pedicels erect to spreading.
- Stems rough to the touch (scabrous) on the angles of the internodes. Inflorescence with 2-5 flowers.
- Leaves (4-)6 per node.
- Schizocarps (fruit) uncinate-bristly (as opposed to glabrous). Leaf blades 15-85 mm long and 4-13 mm wide. Leaves scabrous on the margin. Corolla green-white.
