G. aparine is often found in post-fire plant communities in the United States, likely developing from onsite seed and therefore rendering controlled burns as an ineffective means of removing G. aparine in areas where it is considered a noxious weed. [23] Geese frequently consume the plant, hence the common names "goosegrass". [24]
British NVC community OV24 (Urtica dioica - Galium aparine community) is one of the open habitat communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of four tall-herb weed communities. This community occurs widely throughout lowland Britain and, if conditions are suitable, is also found in the upland fringes.
Two constant species, Cleavers (Galium aparine) and Sea Mayweed (Matricaria maritima), are found in this community. Two rare species, Oysterplant (Mertensia maritima) and Ray's Knotgrass (Polygonum oxyspermum ssp. raii), are also associated with the community.
Some of the common herbs are Arisaema jacquemontii, Boschniakia himalaica, Corydalis cashmeriana, Polemonium caerulium, Impatiens sulcata, Geranium wallichianum, Galium aparine, Morina longifolia, Inula grandiflora, Nomochoris oxypetala, nemone rivularis, Pedicularis pectinata, P. bicornuta, Primula denticulate and Trillidium govanianum.
SD3 Matricaria maritima - Galium aparine strandline community; SD4 Elymus farctus ssp. boreali-atlanticus foredune community; SD5 Leymus arenarius mobile dune community; SD6 Ammophila arenaria mobile dune community; SD7 Ammophila arenaria - Festuca rubra semi-fixed dune community; SD8 Festuca rubra - Galium verum fixed dune grassland
Goosegrass (sometimes goose grass) is a common name for several grasses, sedges, and annual herbs.The origin of the name is due either to a plant's use as food for geese or plant parts that look like the foot of a goose.
Galium is a large genus of annual and perennial herbaceous plants in the family Rubiaceae, occurring in the temperate zones of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Some species are informally known as bedstraw. [1] There are over 600 species of Galium, [2] with estimates of 629 [3] to 650 [4] as of 2013.
This is an incomplete list of 2,700 species of vascular plants which are native to the region of Palestine as defined by Flora Palaestina. Flora Palaestina is a work in four volumes published by Brill Academic Publishers between 1966 and 1986, edited by Michael Zohary and Naomi Feinbrun-Dothan. [1]
