Umbels 1–3, proximalmost axillary to bracts, 5–12-flowered. Flowers: perianth greenish; tepals 3–3.5 mm; anthers shorter than filaments; ovules (1–)2 per locule.

Discussion
Smilax hugeri is distinguished from S. ecirrhata and S. biltmoreana mainly by leaf morphology. Specimens from Tennessee are not sharply distinct from S. ecirrhata. J. K. Mangaly (1968) cited this as possible evidence of divergence from that species.
