Galium elegans is a widely ranging, polymorphic species that may not be completely distinct from several other related taxa. It is here circumscribed more narrowly than by Cufodontis (Oesterr. Bot. Z. 89: 228-232. 1940) and W. C. Chen (in FRPS 71(2): 242-245. 1999), which reduces its variation a bit. These aspects are discussed below.Galium elegans is a widely ranging, polymorphic species that may not be completely distinct from several other related taxa.
