A very nice eight rowed flour corn that is found pure only in about three places in northwestern Mexico. The broad, soft kernels are characteristics found in the Gurani corns of Paraguay and Brazil as well as the flour corns of the Great Plains. The large flour corns of many tribes, notably the Cherokee and Iroquois, trace their origins back to this landrace. They look almost identical and represent a time when the landrace was more common. Harinoso de Ocho is regarded as a relic of  a large-seeded , few rowed flour corn originally introduced from South America, which is the center of flour corn. It has been widely  replaced by its derivatives.
