Negronne and Violette de Bordeaux are one and the same fig. Small, dark, intensely sweet, it is the collectors' purple fig par excellence — reference accession DFIC #63 — and it travels under a host of other names (Petite Aubique, Angélique Noire, Little Miss Figgy…). Untangling that host, and telling it apart from its false friends, is the whole point. The blue “→” nodes are clickable.
