Description
In wild grapes, the species is dioecious; the sexes grow on separate vines with male flowers on one plant, and female flowers on another. Black Corinth is an "almost male" variety in that the flowers have well-developed anthers (male), but only tiny underdeveloped ovaries (female).
Clusters of 'Black Corinth' are small, averaging 0.4 pounds (0.18 kg), ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 pounds. They are cylindrical, with prominent shoulder or winged. The berries are very small (0.35–0.6 grams), round, of reddish black color. Skin is very thin, and the flesh is juicy and soft. It is practically seedless, except in occasional large berry. When dried, raisins weigh 0.09–0.14 grams, and receive dark brown or black color. Leaves are medium-sized, heart-shaped and oblong. They are five-lobed with deep sinuses.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
