Smilax pumila, the sarsaparilla vine,[2] is a North American species of plants native to the southeastern United States from eastern Texas to South Carolina.[1][3]
Smilax pumila is the only smilax species to not have thorns.[4] It either runs along the ground or clambers up other vegetation. Flowers are yellow; fruits red and egg-shaped.[5]
