Looks like Ruscus aculeatus.

I got a plant from the local nursery today. The stems, culms and leaves
are bamboo in configuration, except that they are smaller. The plant is
also vining, with a habitus much like an asparagus. Does anybody have an
idea what plant this might be? I tried google searches for "asparagus
bamboo" but all results(!) return 33 pages of vegetable websites' indexes
".....asparagus, bamboo....."

Thanks in advance!

I don't think it's a bamboo species. Unfortunately, I bought it at a
roadside nursery and the seller doesn't have an idea either.
