Galium megalospermum, the Swiss bedstraw or big-seeded bedstraw, is a plant species in the Rubiaceae. It is native to the Alps in Central Europe (eastern France, Switzerland, Austria, southern Germany and northern Italy).[1][2]
Galium megalospermum is a low-lying plant rarely more than 5 cm tall, forming clumps, very often in narrow places between rocks. Leaves are whorled, usually 6 or 7 per node, egg-shaped, thick and fleshy. Flowers are white to cream-colored, with 4 or 5 petals.[3][4][5]
