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:
“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)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
