Please define briars.

That link does not tell what briars are as in a botanical name.

All of the briars (or 'briers', as the USDA would have it) that I
am familiar with are classified in the genus Smilax:

I'm in the southeast part of the US though, not in the PNW. Perhaps
there are other genera where you are.

Thank you.
