Galium ruwenzoriense explained

Galium ruwenzoriense is a member of the family Rubiaceae which grows at the mid-altitudes of 2,700 to 4,050 meters (8,900 – 13,300 ft) in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Zaïre (Congo-Kinshasa or Democratic Republic of the Congo).[1]

Galium ruwenzoriense forms vines, and spreads vegetatively by means of runners.[1] It climbs, attaching to surfaces with rows of small hooks along the edges of its leaves and stems[2]

It has bristly leaves, deep red or even black berries, and small, light green flowers.[3]
