Smilax jamesii is a species of flowering plant in the greenbriar family known by the common name English Peak greenbriar.[3] It is to northern California, where it is known from the Klamath Mountains and the southernmost peaks of the Cascade Range. It has also been reported from nearby locations in southwestern Oregon.[4][5][6] It grows in moist areas such as lakesides and streambanks in mountain coniferous forest habitat. It was discovered to be a new species when herbarium specimens thought to be Smilax californica were reexamined.[7]
This is a rhizomatous perennial herb taking the form of a vine, climbing and branching to maximum lengths of 2 to 3 meters. The dark green leaves have blades up to 8 centimeters long by 7 wide, triangular to pointed oval in shape. There are numerous tendrils. The inflorescence is an umbel-shaped cluster of flowers blooming from the leaf axils. Male inflorescences contain up to 20 flowers, and the larger female inflorescences may have 40. The male and female flowers have similar petals but the female flower has a spherical ovary in the center. The mature fruit is a blue berry just under a centimeter wide which turns maroon in color as it dries.[8]

Esta es una enredadera rizomatosa ramificada que alcanza un tamaño de 2 a 3 metros de longitud. Las hojas son de color verde oscuro y tienen hojas triangulares de hasta 8 centímetros de largo por 7 de ancho, de forma ovalada. Tiene numerosos zarcillos. La inflorescencia es una umbela en forma de racimo de flores en las axilas de las hojas. Las inflorescencias masculinas contienen hasta 20 flores, y las inflorescencias más grandes femeninas pueden tener 40. Las flores masculinas y femeninas tienen pétalos similares, pero la flor femenina tiene un ovario esférico en el centro. La fruta madura es de color azul, es una baya de poco menos de un centímetro de ancho que se convierte en marrón cuando se seca.
Es endémica en el norte de California, donde se le conoce desde las montañas del Río Klamath y los picos más australes de la Cordillera de las Cascadas. También puede encontrarse al norte de la frontera del estado de Oregon.[1] Crece en lugares húmedos como orillas de los lagos y arroyos de montaña, bosques de coníferas. Se descubrió que era una nueva especie cuando ejemplares de herbario que se creía que eran de Smilax californica fueron reexaminados.[2]
Smilax jamesii fue descrita por G.A.Wallace y publicado en Brittonia 31(3): 416–420, f. 1–2, en el año 1979.[3][4]
Smilax: nombre genérico que recibe su nombre del mito griego de Crocus y la ninfa Smilax. Aunque este mito tiene numerosas formas, siempre gira en torno al amor frustrado y trágico de un hombre mortal que es convertido en una flor, y una ninfa del bosque que se transforma en una parra.
