Thank you Dr. Singh and Mr. Garg. These photos are not sufficient to reach an ID. I will collect more evidence soon if I can.

Warm regards,

Ashwini

Hi, Ashwini ji,

Pl. post high resolution images of these.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Singh ji,

Flora of Pakistan gives the following keys:

11 (5)	Leaves elliptic, lanceolate or oblanceolate, usually obtuse		8 Galium spurium
+	Leaves linear, acute or cuspidata		(12)
12 (11)	Inflorescence terminal or subterminal. Pedicel c. 2 mm long. Corolla bright yellow. Stem pubescent-glabrate; leaves 8-10 (-12) in a whorl		9 Galium verum
+	Inflorescence axillary and terminal. Pedicel 3-5 mm long. Corolla usually white. Stem minutely scabrid; leaves 6 in a whorl		(13)

In view, I will go for Galium verum subsp. verum as per above and as per GBIF FOP illustration Flora of Pakistan Flora of China FoC illustration rather than G. supirium as per GBIF FOP illustration Flora of Pakistan Flora of China FoC illustration

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Singh ji,

On further review, I agree with you as per GBIF specimen of G. supirium

Let us further see high resolution images when ever Ashwini ji posts them.

[Ashwini Bhatia]

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Ashwini ji.

I will go for G. supirium as ided by Singh ji.

[Ashwini Bhatia]

I found some plants growing near home today and photographed them. Also found some photos in my archive from 2018. I hope this help further in deciding the identity.

Thanks.

Ashwini

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Ashwini ji for the wonderful images.

Thank you Mr. Garg. I have doubts about it being G. spurium as the stalks on our plants are smooth (no hooked bristles on the edges).

Hi, Ashwini ji,

Pl. do not go by any single character as it is widely distributed and you can see numerous synonyms (showing how complicated its taxonomy is) at Catalogue of Life

Plant listed in Nepal and Bhutan is Galium aparine var. echinospermum (Wallr.) T.Durand which is a syn. of Galium spurium subsp. spurium
