The description of Galium pauciflorum seems to be most agreeable to me, more so because flowers appear to be only one or two in the axils of leaves (pauciflora means few-flowered): >From Flora of Pakistan "Stem slender, erect, unbranched, ± smooth or minutely aculeolate, filiform, 4-angled, up to 1 mm thick. Leaves 4-6 in a whorl, 5-8 x 1-2.5 mm occasionally opposite, linear, or narrowly lanceolate- oblanceolate, cuspidate, margin and midrib scabrid. Inflorescence terminal and axillary, one flowered, pedicles 1-3 mm in fruit. Flowers minute, white. Fruit 1-2 mm in diameter, sparsely clothed with hooked hairs." - Tabish
