Galium palustre - Marsh Bedstraw
There are two species of medium height, clambering bedstraws that can be found growing in damp soils (three if you live in the New Forest), marsh and fen bedstraw. Marsh bedstraw is the taller of the two and can be identified by the lack of a bristle like tip to the leaves. The flowers, which are present from June to August, are white and formed into loose clusters at the end of the stem.
