Question
This plant, which I suspect is a Gallium, has a prominent purplish tinge. Is it G. Molluga? Is G. Molluga edible?
Answer
Dear whbn3, it does look to belong to the Galium mollugo complex, though I can't say for certain it isn't Galium album or G. sylvaticum without flowers. These species are not the typical ones used for early spring greens (such as Galium aparine), which is a more distantly related species.
