 Grays Man. Ed. V., p. 519. 1867. 



Deep swampy thickets of the Pine Barren and Cape May 

 districts, local. 



This is another southern smilax, but since its leaves bear a 

 general resemblance tO' those oi S- rotuiidifolio, it is easily over- 

 looked in summertime unless one is especially searching for it. 

 In autumn and winter, however, the coral red berries make it 

 particularlv conspicuous and distinguish it at once from all other 

 species. 



Its discovery in Xew Jersey is somewhat in\-olved in doubt. 

 It is first recorded fromi the State in Gray's iManual. fifth edition.

 season, persisting well into winter.
