Common names include catbriers, greenbriers, prickly-ivys & smilaxes. Sarsaparilla (also zarzaparrilla, sarsparilla) is a name used specifically for the Jamaican S. ornata as well as a catch-all term in particular for American species. Occasionally, the non-woody species such as the smooth herbaceous greenbrier (S. herbacea) are separated as genus Nemexia; they are commonly known by the rather ambiguous name carrion flowers. . 1814 Antique Smilax Print Natural History Botanical Botany Wall Art Framing Home Decor
