'''Vitis shuttleworthii''', commonly known as the [[Calusa grape]], is a species of [[grape]] native to the [[United States]]. It is a member of the [[Vitis]] genus, which includes all species of grapes. The species is named after its discoverer, [[Robert J. Shuttleworth]], a renowned botanist and horticulturist.

== Description ==
The '''Vitis shuttleworthii''' is a climbing or trailing vine, typically growing to a length of 10-20 feet. The leaves are heart-shaped, with a glossy green upper surface and a pale underside. The flowers are small and greenish-white, appearing in clusters. The fruit is a small, round grape, typically black or dark purple when ripe.

== Distribution and Habitat ==
'''Vitis shuttleworthii''' is native to the southeastern United States, particularly [[Florida]] and [[Georgia]]. It is typically found in moist, well-drained soils in forests, along riverbanks, and in swamps.

== Cultivation and Uses ==
While not as widely cultivated as other grape species, '''Vitis shuttleworthii''' is sometimes grown for its ornamental value due to its attractive foliage and clusters of small grapes. The grapes are edible, although they are not typically used for commercial wine production due to their small size and relatively low sugar content.

== Conservation Status ==
The '''Vitis shuttleworthii''' is currently not considered to be at risk of extinction. However, like all native plant species, it is vulnerable to habitat loss due to human activity and changes in climate.
