Galium is a large penus of anal and perennial herbaceous plants in the family Rubiaceae, with about 400 species occurring in the temperate zones of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The species are variously known as bedstraw (most species), goosegrass (G. aparine), cleavers (G. tricornutum, G. aparine) and woodruff (G. odoratum).
Bedstraws are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species - see list of Lepidoptera which feed on Galium.
