Description
Smilax hispida is a monoecious perennial that grows as a shrub or vine.[2] As a vine, it frequently climps 30-45 ft (9.1-13.7 m) into trees has internodes on the main stem 4-10 in (10.2-25.4 cm) apart. Stems are usually very prickly.[3] In central eastern Illinois, it averages 13 stems and its seeds have a mean mass of 23.690 mg.[4]
Distribution
This species ranges from Connecticut, New York, Minnesota, and Nebraska south to Texas and southern Florida.[1][2][5]
