Galium sylvaticum L.Family: Rubiaceae Juss.EN: Scotch Mist, Wood Bedstraw; DE: Wald-Labkraut, Slo.: gozdna lakotaDat.: July 31. 2019Lat.: 46.35766 Long.: 13.70396Code: Bot_1236/2023_DSC 09331Habitat: In a narrow belt of riparian forest (Salix eleagnos, Ostrya carpinifolia, Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica dominant trees); fairly steep river shore, in shade, moist ground and air; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevations 540 m (1.770 feet), Alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa, downstream of Matev's (Trenta 1) footbridge, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia. Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Galium sylvaticum): Galium sylvaticum is a south and central European species. It is a very variable plant and there exists several similar plants. So are many of its descriptions in literature and net. One can easily find a specimen, which is difficult to determine with certainty. The plant was once used as medical herb. It was also used in the production of cheese, since it has special ferments in its leaves.Ref.:(1) K. Lauber and G. Wagner, Flora Helvetica, 5. Auflage, Haupt (2012), p 770.(2) M.A. Fischer, W.

Northern Kosciuszko National Park, Cave Creek in vicinity of Cooleman Caves and the Blue Waterholes, New South Wales.As near as I can now recall, this shot is from almost the exact spot at which in 1967 I collected the herbarium specimen that became the type of this species, named by Ehrendorfer & McGillivray, Telopea 2: 371 (1983). It is known only from the limestone at Cooleman and Yarrangobilly and two other nearby sites. At Cooleman its favoured niche on the limestone cliffs is being progressively taken over by the introduced Sedum acre.
