I have looked into _Smilax aculeatissima_ – perhaps this does not fit neatly well into this species description according the the Flora of Au (online): https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Smilax%20aculeatissima .

Please beware of numerous, known un-described species, with phrase names which occur in north–east Qld here:
