Description : There was a whole thicket of this bedstraw. I had some trouble getting a clear picture of it, but this one shows some of the hard round burrs slightly below center, as well as the four petalled white flowers. It's very very scratchy, and the fact that the leaves are mostly in sixes distinguishes it from cleavers which have leaves in eights.
