Galium parisiense var. leiocarpum Tausch, New for Oklahoma

Abstract

While doing some routine plant collecting in Chickasha in June of 1999 I found a Galium with which I was not familiar. However, when I tried to key it out in Smith (1994) it immediately keyed to Galium parisiense L. var. leiocarpum Tausch. It also keyed out in Fernald (1950), Britton (1907), and Munz and Keck (1963) and Hickman (1993). This species is originally from Europe.
