Smilax rotundifolia or round-leaved greenbrier is a woody climbing plant geographically restricted to moist forest habitats in south-western Ontario and south-western Nova Scotia. This report describes the species and reviews the Ontario population's geographic distribution, general environment and habitat characteristics, population biology and ecology, management practices and experience, and evidence of threats to survival. Finally, the current status of the species is assessed along with its future prognosis, and a conservation status ranking is recommended.
