Summer but plants conspicuous in May. Wiegand, 2001b: Shining bedstraw (Galium concinnum) is listed as historical from D.C. It was last reported from Chain Bridge Flats by G. Vasey when he collected it at Little Falls, DC in 1873. It has not been reported or collected from this area since that time, 128 years ago. No specific survey effort to relocate this species at Chain Bridge Flats was made during 1999-2000 field surveys of the area. However, suitable habitat remains intact in the area so there it may still occur here.Status surveys for shining bedstraw are highly recommended to fully determine its current status at Chain Bridge Flats Survey Site.
