Adding to the confusion was the number of flowers in a cluster. Over the years we inspected countless leaves looking for a hairless plant, only to discover every Smilax plant in Minnesota has hairy leaves. lasioneura) and old records were not updated when the taxonomy was. lasioneura was treated as a variety of S. The DNR and Bell Herbarium both list Smooth Carrion Flower ( Smilax herbacea) as present in Minnesota, but this appears to be untrue, though may go back to a time when S. Of note is we spent a number of years agonizing over some of these Smilax species.
hispida), is the only Smilax species in Minnesota with a prickly stem. A fourth species, Bristly Greenbrier ( S. illinoensis leaf stalks are mostly as long as or longer than the blade and flower stalks are shorter (i.e. ecirrhata also has only 1 to 3 flower clusters that are usually all below the leaves, fewer than 25 flowers per cluster, and has fewer than 20 leaves per plant, often less than 10.
illinoensis has a branching stem and both have few or no tendrils. While a robust plant may grow to 8 feet long and have numerous flower clusters, a 3-foot plant will more closely resemble the other two.īy comparison, neither S. Its leaf stalks are mostly shorter than the blade and flower stalks are mostly longer than the leaf stalks, sometimes significantly so. lasioneura is probably the most variable in leaf shape, number of flower clusters and number of flowers in a cluster, but, unlike the other two species, it has a branched stem and many tendrils that twine around itself and other vegetation. illinoensis), and all 3 may grow together which makes it more challenging. Stems are branched, hairless, erect to ascending, or more sprawling when supporting vegetation is not available.įruit is a round berry 1/3 inch or so in diameter that ripens from green to purplish-black, covered with a waxy coating.īlue Ridge Carrion Flower is one of the larger Minnesota Smilax species, though young plants are easily confused with both Upright Carrion Flower ( Smilax ecirrhata) and Illinois Carrion Flower ( S. Leaves along most of the stem typically have a pair of long tendrils at the base of the stalk these tendrils twine around supporting vegetation and enable the plant to climb. Leaves become smaller as they ascend the stem, though the lowest leaves are somewhat smaller than those mid-stem. Edges are toothless though may be somewhat crinkly or wavy. The upper surface is hairless, the lower sparsely short-hairy. Leaves are alternate, 1½ to 3+ inches long, 1 to 2½ inches wide, egg-shaped to nearly round, rounded to blunt to pointed at the tip, heart-shaped to rounded to straight across at the base, on a stalk that is usually shorter than the blade. A flower stalk is usually longer than the associated leaf stalk, sometimes significantly so. Both male and female clusters arise singly from the leaf axils all along the stem, starting with the lowest leaf. Male flowers have 6 creamy white to pale yellow-tipped stamens. Female flowers have 6 sterile stamens (staminodes) surrounding a green, round ovary with a 3-parted style at the tip. Flowers are about ¼ inch across with 6 green to yellow-green tepals (petals and similar sepals). 7Īrmoured Warfare Facility - Containment Unit No.Few to numerous round to hemispheric flower clusters 1 to 2 inches across, each on a long stalk and containing up to 100+ flowers (usually 25 or more), with male and female flowers on separate plants (dioecious). Nuclear Power Plant - Containment Unit No. Leviathan Reef Base - Containment Unit No. 1īotanical Gardens - Containment Unit No. Leaving and reentering the room always solves the problem. You can’t fail any of the puzzles even if you accidentally move or kill someone you needed. See below above a picture.Īlthough some of these power-ups may help you in the game, they’re considerably easier to find and complete once you’ve beaten the game. You’ll spot the room/location the Containment Unit is being held in with a little fish logo that’s glowing white.
You’ll sometimes need powers you don’t have initially to reach each containment unit so it’s best to check the guide for each level first, or simply come back and pick all nine up after you’ve completed the game.

This includes the ‘Frontier’ which acts as an overworld.Įach walkthrough below shows you how to reach and solve any puzzles to get the containment unit. There is one containment unit in every level except for the first. Each rewards you with a power-up of a different variety which can range from an increase in your health to your energy bar. Carrion contains 9 containment unites for you to find.
