Galium paschale is a species of flowering plant in the genus Galium found in south-eastern Europe and Turkey.
Galium paschale grows wild in parts of Bulgaria, Greece, the former Yugoslavia, and Turkey. [2] In Turkey, it ranges from the Turkish Thrace in the west to Bitlis Province in the east, and lives in mixed deciduous woodland. [3]
Galium paschale was first described by the Swedish botanist, Peter Forsskål, in his 1775 work Flora Ægyptiaco-Arabica. [2] [4]
