Plant strong and high climbing, with densely woolly young growth(which is gener- ally rusty-tipped), and very thick diaphragms: Ivs. medium in size and more or less poplar-like, ranging from reniform- ovate to cordate-ovate or triangular-ovate, dull above but very densely white-tomentose below and on the petioles, the basal sinus very broad and open or usually none whatever (the base of the leaf then nearly trun- laterally reflexed: cluster small, mostly branched, bear- ing a dozen to twenty large [% in. or less in diam.) purple or light-colored or even whitish berries, which have a thick skin and a very disagreeable fiery flavor: seeds large, pyriform. E. Texas, mostly on limestone soils. Var. coriicea, Bailey( V. cori&cea, Shnttl.). Leather- leaf or Calloosa Grape. Fig. 2703.
