The quite possibly wise Iris Cohen was heard saying:
I came across a plant that
looked unusual. It also looks a bit unfriendly.

If it is a vine with prickers, it is a Smilax

Definitely not a vine. It had a very short, slim stem, if I remember
correctly. Now, I wish I would've taken more pictures of it.

Thanks for your help.

Colin
