This species somewhat resembles Smilax stenopetala, A. Gr., 
but differs in the inflorescence, which, instead of arising directly 
from the axil of a mature leaf, consists of a subumbellate raceme, 
borne in the axil of a very young leaf (rarely an inch long) 
situated on an axillary branch about four inches long, at the 
base of which a large bud-scale persists opposite to the leat- 
sheath.

This appears to be related to Smilax obtusa, Benth., from 
Mexico. It can be distinguished from tife other Chinese species 
by its small, glaucous, somewhat coriaceous leaves.
