2. Name applied to a genus of plants ( Galium, family Rubiaceæ) containing many species, with slender ascending stems, whorled or cruciate leaves, and small clustered flowers. One of these ( G. verum) has long borne the legendary name of Our Lady's Bedstraw (cf. the similarly allusive Our Lady's Garters, Mantle, Slippers, Smock, etc.); whence recent writers have somewhat irrationally taken ‘Bedstraw’ as an English book-name for the whole genus making ‘Our Lady's Bedstraw’ a species.
