Galium buxifolium, also known as box bedstraw or island bedstraw, is a rare flowering plant in the coffee family that is endemic to the Channel Islands of California. It is a federally listed endangered species and is found in about 26 populations on Santa Cruz and San Miguel Islands. This small shrub has leathery rounded leaves and white flowers, and its floral biology is unique as it can have unisexual, bisexual, or all female flowers on one plant. It can reproduce sexually or vegetatively and its fruit is a hairy nutlet. The plant is threatened by invasive species like ice plant and vinca, and efforts have been made to control these plants. While it was once found on Santa Rosa Island, it has not been seen there since 1930.
