I have been seeing this tiny plant with needle like leaves on my treks to Triund. This one is photographed at about 2400m. The wine-red flowers resemble those of Rubia. I am not sure what species this is. Poking around on the internet I found the similar looking G. wrightii but learnt that it's only found in North America and Mexico. Please help identify this.

Galium species?
Mcleodganj-Triund, Dharamshala, HP
2400m approx.
10-11 July 2017

Thanks.
Ashwini

It closely resembles to Galium mollugo Linn. ssp.asperifolium (Wall.) Kitamura in Fauna & Flora of Nepal Himalaya,; G.asperifoliumWall. in Roxb.Fl.Ind.ed.1: 381,1820

Looks different from Galium asperifolium Wall., as per images and details herein. 
I checked keys in Flora of Bhutan at Galium, but could not find a satisfactory match.

Yes, possible as per only GBIF specimen
BSI Flora of India gives its distribution in Uttarakhand.
Experts may pl. give their views.

Description does not seem to match with Flora of China, especially lacking white stem angles, leaves not hispid.
