Georgia vine with clusters of greenish white flowers | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

This vine is now common in the understory adjacent to my back deck. It’s in an area that receives a significant amount of sun.

Jim Unregistered says:

Perhaps Smilax aspera (bindweed).

Thanks. Once you put me on the right track, I looked at other Smilax, especially their flowers, and it looks a LOT like Smilax smallii.
