A native galium species

Ciaran - are you sure? I don’t see sightings on iNaturalist and only BioNet on NatureMapr. Or am I missing sightings on iNaturalist - I hardly ever use it. Will check ALA

Kevin - what do you think?

Not G. aparine because of number of leaves in whorl.
Hard to key out without a specimen in hand. I have also been told that the key is not that reliable.

No Lisa I am not sure of the species-specific ID, hence the suggestion.

Kevin - herbarium time? Or do you want to have a go? I’m happy to visit. 😊

Lisa. Why not just post a specimen.

Do people still post stuff? I’m happy to drop and run. I could even leave it on your doorstep. 😊 I’d like to play around in another bit of ILGW - the area you took the group to. Different from mine.

Lisa. No problem if you want to leave it behind the front door fly screen if nobody is here.

BTW - herbarium for me is ANBG (Rosemary Purdie) not Mt Annan so very convenient for me. But I’ll drop a specimen at your place.

I think G. liratum is most likely
