Description
This tiny bedstraw specimen, though not traditionally cultivated as bonsai, presents a delicate, upright form. Its slender, hairy stems bear whorls of small, linear leaves and minute, pale green flowers. The plant's ephemeral nature makes it a unique, albeit challenging, subject for miniature cultivation.
