Ecology & Habitat

Description

Kelloggia is an herbaceous perennial with small clusters of stems that are 1-6 dm high and arising from spreading rhizomes. The narrowly lance-shaped, opposite leaves are 15-50 mm long and have smaller leaves in their axils. Foliage is glabrous. Flowers are borne on long stalks in open, leafy inflorescences. The white or pink, tubular corolla is 4-8 mm long. It has 4 narrow, spreading, hairy lobes and surmounts the bristly ovary and 4 tiny calyx lobes. The small, hard, berry-like fruit is 3-4 mm in diameter and covered with hooked bristles.

Diagnostic Characteristics

Species of GALIUM have more than 2 leaves per node. K. GALIOIDES superficially resembles species in the Caryophyllaceae, but in the latter, the separate petals enclose the ovary.
