Deep swamp}' 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 O'f S- rotundifolia, it is easily over- 

 looked in summertime unless one is especially searching for it. 

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

 particularly conspicuous and distinguish it at once from' all other 

 species. 



Its discovery in New Jersey is somewhat involved in doubt. 

 It is first recorded fromi the State in Gray's \ManuaI, fifth edition. 



Fl. — Early May to early June. Fr. — Mid-autumn oi the first 

 season, persisting well into winter.
