Asperula scoparia (Rubiaceae) 2:276

Asperula scoparia is a small, rare, native species of open woodlands, where it forms quite dense clumps. It has  leaves 3-8mm long and in whorls of six. The densely hairy stems are distinctive. The nodes tend to be somewhat thickened and darker in colour - giving the plant a distinctive jointed appearance, like a horsetail (Equisetum).
