'''Sauncho Smilax'''<br />

*'''Sauncho:'''  variant of Sancho (Latin), meaning Saint, Sanctified, Sincere, Truthful.

*All species of '''Smilax''' are climbing vines with sharp spiny thorns, forming dense impenetrable, invasive thickets.  Common names include catbriers, greenbriers, prickly-ivys, sarsaparilla and smilaxes.  The word ''Smilax'' derives from the Greek, for "bindweed."  ''Smilax'' is very resistant to eradication.

*From Greek mythology the nymph ''Smilax'' was slighted by the boy Krokos and transformed into the vine. Another version states that the gods having pity on the grief-stricken boy Krokos who witnessed the death of his lover, the nymph ''Smilax'', changed him into a flower—the saffron crocus and ''Smilax'' into the bindweed, forever entwining the two.
