==Chief Commissioners==
'''''Smilax''''' is a genus of about 200 species of climbing [[flowering plant]]s, many of which are woody and/or thorny in the [[monocotyledon]] family [[Smilacaceae]], native throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world. Common names include '''Catbrier, Greenbrier, Prickly-ivy, Sarsaparilla, Sarsparilla''' and '''Smilax'''. The herbaceous plants formerly included in this genus are now placed in ''[[Nemexia]]''. For a full species list, see [[list of Smilax species]]; selected common species include:<br/>
''[[Smilax aspera]]'' (Common Smilax)<br/>
''[[Smilax bona-nox]]'' (Saw Greenbrier) ([http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/species/frame/smbo2.htm images])<br/>
''[[Smilax glauca]]'' (Cat Greenbrier) ([http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/species/frame/smgl.htm images])<br/>
''[[Smilax herbacea]]'' (Carrion-flower)<br/>
''[[Smilax hispida]]'' (Bristly Greenbrier)<br/>
''[[Smilax pseudochina]]'' (False Chinaroot)<br/>
''[[Smilax pulverulenta]]'' (Carrion-flower)<br/>
''[[Smilax regelii]]'' ([[Sarsaparilla]])<br/>
''[[Smilax rotundifolia]]'' ([[Common Greenbrier]])

On their own, ''Smilax'' plants will grow as a shrub, forming dense impenetrable thickets. They will also grow over trees and other plants up to 10 m high using its hooked thorns to hang on to and scramble over branches. The genus includes both [[deciduous]] and [[evergreen]] species. The [[leaf|leaves]] are heart shaped and vary from 4-30 cm long in different species.

Greenbrier is [[plant sexuality|dioecious]], however only about one in three colonies have plants of both sexes. Plants flower in May and June with white/green clustered [[flower]]s. If [[pollination]] occurs, the plant will produce a bright red to blue-black spherical [[berry]] [[fruit]] about 5-10 mm in diameter that matures in the fall.
 
{| border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2
The berry is rubbery in texture and has a large, spherical seed in the center. The fruit stays intact through winter, when [[bird]]s and other animals eat them to survive. The seeds are passed unharmed in the animal's droppings. Since many ''Smilax'' colonies are single clones that have spread by [[rhizome]]s, both sexes may not be present at a site, in which case no fruit is formed.

===Ecology=Sources==
[[Image:Greenbrier_plant.JPG|left|thumb|''Smilax'' growth]]
''Smilax'' is a very damage-tolerant plant capable of growing back from its [[rhizome]]s after being cut down or burned down by [[wildfire|fire]]. This, coupled with the fact that birds and other small animals spread the seeds over large areas, makes the plants very hard to get rid of. It grows best in moist woodlands with a soil [[pH]] between 5 and 6. The seeds have the highest percent chance of germinating after being exposed to a freeze.

Besides providing an important fruit for animals (especially birds) during the winter, the greenbrier plant also provides shelter for many other animals. The thorny thickets can effectively protect small animals from other larger animals who cannot enter the greenbrier. [[Deer]] will eat the foliage.

===Uses=See Also==
An extract from the roots is used to make the drink [[Sarsaparilla]]. The roots may also be used in soups or stews, the young shoots can be eaten raw or cooked and are said to taste like [[asparagus]], and the berries can be eaten both raw and cooked.

===Trivia===
* [[Governors of India]]
The leaves and berries of ''Smilax regelii'' (Sarsaparilla) are favorite foods of [[the Smurfs]], who call the berries "Smurfberries".
