Berberisco. "A variety of wheat which was introduced into Spain many years ago 

 from Barbary, and which has won for itself the reputation of being a larger yielder 

 and having better grain than the durum wheat Blanco, No. 7464. It would be inter- 

 esting to try this in comparison with Algerian wheats, which are said to have origi-

Blanco. "A native variety of hard wheat grown about Cordova which has the 

 reputation of being of a fair quality and, although not so productive as the so-called 

 Berberisco, it is more resistant to drought. I believe it will also prove resistant to 

 rust in a fair degree." (Fairchild.)
