Traditionally, up to 14 species were accepted. In the present paper 7 species are recognized: </span><span>Smilax domingensis, S. mollis, S. pana- mensis, S. spinosa, S. spissa, S. subpubescens, </span><span>and </span><span>S. vanilliodora. </span><span>The following names are treated as synonyms: </span><span>Smilax engleriana </span><span>and </span><span>S. kunthii </span><span>of </span><span>S. domingensis</span><span>; </span><span>S. hirsutior, S. angustiflora </span><span>and </span><span>S. candelariae </span><span>of </span><span>S. mollis</span><span>, and </span><span>S. chiriquensis </span><span>and </span><span>S. regelii </span><span>var. </span><span>albida </span><span>of </span><span>S. vanilliodora</span><span>. </span><span>Smilax regelii </span><span>is excluded as a valid taxon and a lectotype of </span><span>S. gymnopoda </span><span>is designated. Dichotomous keys with vegetatives and reproduc- tive characters (flowers and fruits) are presented, on the basis of field and herbaria observations. For all the species many important characters useful for identification were included, such as rhizome, stem, size of tepals and variation in berry colour during development stages. </span></p></div></div></div></div>}, number={1}, journal={Lankesteriana: International Journal on Orchidology}, author={Ferrufino Acosta, Lilian and Gómez-Laurito, Jorge}, year={2016}, month={Feb.} }
