Heterosmilax (Greek, another kind of Smilax). Liliaceae. This includes an ornamental climber with the habit of smilax, but the perianth is undivided (instead of 6-parted, as in smilax) and the mouth is minutely 2-5-dentate. It resembles smilax in having dioecious fls. borne in umbels, and tendril-bearing petioles. The genus contains 5 species of woody climbers from India, Malaya, China and Japan: lvs. 3-5-nerved: fls. small or very small. Little known culturally outside the far East.
