Description[G. trifidum bottom]
Remarks[“July 12. . . In Moore’s meadow by Turnpike . . . By the myosotis ditch there, is an abundance of Galium trifidum (apparently obtusum or latifolium, in press). It is densely massed and quite prickly, with three corolla-lobes. As yet I think I have observed only two varieties of G. trifidum, smooth and rough.” Journal 8: 408. 1856]
