catbrier

Catbrier was stuck all over my legs and chest.

On the walk there our legs got a good lashing from the catbrier and blackberry stickers.

An easy path leads through a field-edge tangle of catbrier and raspberry, cover for pheasant and rabbit.

Still others, like the wild vine catbrier, grow thorns that act like grappling hooks, helping them pull themselves up and over nearby shrubs.

Smilax bona-nox, known by the common names saw greenbrier, zarzaparrilla, catbrier, bullbrier, chinabrier, and tramp's trouble, is a species of flowering plant in the Smilacaceae, or greenbrier family.

A lamppost without its globe stands in waist-high catbrier, a fire hydrant sticks its snub nose out of bittersweet, a fence marks off the woods that had once been a tennis court; walking along a crude dirt road you suddenly notice that it has a reinforced iron edge, like many older sidewalks.
