Not sure what this plant might be if it is a Smilax. However, in the Eastern United States we have a fast growing invasive plant called Mile-A-Minute Weed (Polygonum perfoliatum) which is in the Buckwheat family (
Polygonaceae). Perhaps this is what this common name Wait-a-minute vine refers to. Hope this helps.

If you click on the link for Polygonum perfoliatum you will see that Mile-a-minute Vine is also from SE Asia originally. Common names are rarely matched closely with one species of plants. Wait-a-minute Vine certainly sounds like an American name for this Asian species, I know of no non-native species of Smilax established in the U.S. The picture on the first page listed on your google search does not look familiar. Good luck.

Selected species
The list of "Selected species" is way way way too long. And not just because 90 percent of them are red-links. 100+ species as "selected"? Come on, this is wikipedia, not smilaxpedia. The list doesn`t serve any encyclopediac purposes. --

Well, we do this for most plant genera (probably a lot of non-plants too). The main debate I've heard about it is whether the lists should be on separate pages (such as
List of Croton species), a subject about which I have no strong opinion one way or the other.
