Mauro is a new mid to late variety of biserrula. It was derived from a single plant selection from a population collected from a harsh and heavily grazed site in southern Sardinia, Italy. The later maturity, lower hard seed level and higher regeneration in the second year of Mauro compared with Casbah will enhance the performance of biserrula in areas with medium to high rainfall where permanent pasture or infrequent cropping are common.
