Galium desereticum, the Deseret bedstraw is a plant species in the Rubiaceae.[1] It is native to the states of Nevada and Utah in the southwestern United States.[2][3]
The species is named for Deseret, a provisional state of the United States proposed by early settlers in the region; it comprised most of present-day Utah and Nevada plus sections of surrounding states.[1][4]
