Galium aristatum
Awned bedstraw (Galium aristatum) is a perennial herb in the coffee family, native to the Alps and Pyrenees mountains of Europe and sometimes found as a naturalized plant in New York State. It is a wild mountain species rather than a common garden plant, so care is largely about matching cool, open alpine conditions.
Galium aristatum, the awned bedstraw, is a plant species in the Rubiaceae, currently (May 2014) accepted as a distinct species. It is native to the Alps and the Pyrenees Mountains of Europe (Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Germany). It is also reportedly naturalized in a few places in New York State in the United States.
