First mentioned as a subrace of Palmoero Tolqueno in 1951 by corn expert and guru Wellhausen, this highland and mountainous landrace is distrbuted only in the regions of Jalisco and Colima on volcano slopes. This landrace has a better rootsystem than Palmoero Tolequeno and is longer in matuity as well as having less tapered ears. As seen in the photo taken by José de Jesús Sánchez González of Biodiversidad Mexicana, the kernels are  dark purple unlike the the white and yellow in Tolqeueno.
