Galium compactum is a straggling or clumping native
herb, often spreading by underground rhizomes. The young
stems, up to 8 cm long, are covered with soft hair, becoming
hairless at maturity. The leaves and stipules are of
equal size and in whorls of four.
Flowers occur in groups of about 3 in the leaf axils and are
shorter than the leaves when mature.
