Murrey. See Brown Turkey. 



Negro d'Espagne. See Black Genoa. 



Nerii. See White Ischia. There is no fig bearing 

 this name distinct from White Ischia ; and the variety

 received under that name was evidently incorrect ; the 

 true Fico Nero being the Black Ischia, and not the White 

 Ischia.
