Subject: [NatureNS] Greenbrier along Medway River
Yesterday, during a leisurely canoe trip down Queens County's =
Medway River, I'd found two extensive populations of Greenbrier (a.k.a. =
Catbrier), Smilax rotundifolia L. Petrides' 'A Field Guide to Trees and =
Shrubs' calls our species of this woody, spiney vine 'Common =
Greenbrier.'=20
Both populations are located between Greenfield and Bangs Falls, =
very close to the river and probably experiencing seasonal flooding. =
According to Marion Zinck's (Munro's) 'Roland's Flora of Nova Scotia,' =
the Medway is about the northern limit of this Southern shrub's range in =
Nova Scotia. It is found from Florida and Texas to southern Ontario. =
Greenbrier is somewhat unique in that it is Nova Scotia's only woody =
monocot.=20
I had been canoeing the Medway for the past thirty years but never =
knew that this odd prickly green-stemmed vine grew there...
