Sarsaparilla Root is commonly used as a flavoring for drinks, most notably root beer. However, this is the common name for a couple of different plants that are grown in different parts of the world. The Latin botanical name for this plant, when grown in India, is Hemidesmus indicus. When grown in Jamaica, Sarsaparilla Root goes by the Latin botanical name Smilax ornata; in Mexico, it goes by Smilax medica. No matter what name it goes by, it is a very useful dried herb.
