Vitis shuttleworthii is a North American liana (woody vine) in the grape family commonly known as the calloose grape or bear grape (alternatively referred as calusa grape). The name refers to the group of Native American people that resided in southwest FL, the Calusa. It is native to south and central Florida, with isolated populations in southern Alabama.[2][3]
