El Dorado bedstraw ( Galium californicum  subsp.  sierrae ) is a federally endangered dioecious, octoploid, perennial herb found only in the Pine Hill region of El Dorado County, CA, USA. Like many species of  Galium , El Dorado bedstraw is capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction, spreading via stem-layering as well as seeds. El Dorado bedstraw is also dioecious, and thus dependent on pollinators to transfer pollen from male to female stems. The capacity for asexual reproduction has conservation implications for this plant, due to the potential for populations to become dominated by a small number of clones in the absence of recruitment from seeds. No previous work has examined either the population genetics or pollination biology of this plant. Here, double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing was used to develop a genetic dataset for a sample of El Dorado bedstraw (12 individuals from each of seven locations). Genomic data was used to calculate population genetic statistics and quantify the degree to which clonality affects the sampled populations. Visual observation of insect visitors at every sampling location was used to assess the potential for pollen transfer within and among locations. A total of 23 clonal colonies were detected across 82 successfully sequenced stems, consisting of an average of 2.4 individuals (range: 2–6). Significant isolation by distance among locations was detected using a Mantel test. Insect pollinators were from eleven families, consisting mainly of small species with weak flight. It is recommended that clonality and small-scale population differentiation be taken into account in conservation measures.
