THE BIOLOGY OF CANADIAN WEEDS.: 86. Galium aparine L. and Galium spurium L.
Galium aparine L., cleavers, is considered to be native, as well as introduced into North America from Eurasia. It is found from southern Alaska, across the wheat belt of Canada, to Newfoundland. Galium spurium L., false cleavers, is solely an introduced weed. Both species have several characteristi...
