  • Question

    Hi I am doing a project in my Environmental Science class on creating a Wetland Field Guide. This is one of many plants I am having trouble identifying. I found it in Danvers, Massachusetts. We took photographs of these plants around a month ago if not a couple weeks ago. I would greatly appreciate it if this plant could be identified, along with if any botanist could help me identify more of them for this project due soon. All of my plants were found near or at a wetland. Sincerely, Dustin

    Answer

    Dustin, good morning. Your plant is Smilax rotundifolia (common greenbrier), a native, armed liana in the Greenbier Family. Best wishes.
