Galium ruwenzoriense is a member of the family Rubiaceae which grows at the mid-altitudes of 2,700 and 4,050 meters (8,900 - 13,300 ft) in northern Sub-Saharan Africa[2]

It forms vines, and spreads vegetatively by means of runners.[2] It climbs, attaching to surfaces with rows of small hooks along the edges of its leaves and stems[3]

It has bristly leaves, deep red or even black berries, and small, light green flowers.[4]
