The earlier name Smilax tamnoides is sometimes preferred for this species (Fernald 1944; FNA, vol. 26), while S. hispida is commonly preferred (Clausen 1951; Wilbur 2003). The thorns depicted in the type illustration of S. tamnoides appear anomalous for this species: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/126524#page/225/mode/1up
