Definition
A thorny, climbing vine or shrub (Smilax) with prickly stems and broad leaves, common in eastern North America.
Etymology
From 'cat' + 'brier' (from Old English 'brær'). Called 'catbrier' because the prickles are sharp and fierce like a cat's claws, or possibly because cats would climb it.
Kelly Says
Catbrier is incredibly tough—pioneers learned to respect it because the thorns are absolutely vicious, but birds love the berries and traditionally the roots were used to make a medicinal tea called 'sarsaparilla.'
