''Smilax herbacea'', the smooth carrionflower or smooth herbaceous greenbrier, is a plant in the catbriar family. It is native to eastern Canada (Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick) and the eastern United States (as far south as Georgia and Alabama).〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution map )〕 File:Picture of smilax flower as it develops.jpg|Smilax flower as it develops looks similar to a broccoli floret.

The flowers are green, borne in spring. The plant at first looks like asparagus when it first sprouts out of the ground. The plant can grow over 8 feet tall without support, but will eventually fall over unless it successfully finds external support. As flowers start to develop, at first they look similar to small broccoli florets on thin stems.〔(Flora of North America Vol. 26 Page 473 Carrion-flower, Jacob’s-ladder, smilax herbacé, Smilax herbacea Linnaeus, Sp.
