In order to verify a possible occurrence of Galium suecicum (Rubiaceae) at the locations reported by P. Decker in 1911 under G. pumilum (G. silvestre) in the territory of western Poland, we visited all the identified stands during the years 2012 and 2013. At two of those sites, we found plants belonging to G. pumilum agg. that after thorough morphological and cytological studies turned out to be G. suecicum. These are presently the only known stands of this relict species in central Europe.
