Greenbriers get their [[scientific name]] from the Greek myth of [[Krokus (mythology)|Krokus]] and the [[nymph]] Smilax.<ref>Mifsud (2002)</ref> Though this myth has numerous forms, it always centers around the unfulfilled and tragic love of a [[Human|mortal]] man who is turned into [[crocus|a flower]], and a woodland [[nymph]] who is transformed into a brambly vine.  (Compare the story of [[Barbara_Allen_(song)|Barbara Allen]] and sweet William: ''They buried Barbara in the old church yard / They buried Sweet William beside her / Out of his grave grew a red, red rose / And out of hers a briar.'')

On their own, ''Smilax'' plants will grow as shrubs, forming dense impenetrable thickets. They will also grow over trees and other plants up to 10 m high, their hooked thorns allowing them to hang onto and scramble over branches. The genus includes both [[deciduous]] and [[evergreen]] species. The [[leaf|leaves]] are heart-shaped and vary from 4-30&nbsp;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&nbsp;mm in diameter that matures in the fall.

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.
