The figs' Troiano 'were described by Porta (1583, 1592), Gallesio
(1817), Semmola (1845), Gasparrini (1845, as Ficus leucocarpa), Duchartre (1857),
Pasquale (1876), Savastano (1885), Eisen (1901), Pellicano (1907), Guglielmi (1908),
Vallese (1909), Ferrari (1912), Condit (1947) and Tamaro (1948, with drawing).
Semmola gives illustrations of leaves and fruits; also by Vallese, who considered
Campanella as a synonym. Porta and then Gallesio considered that Troiano was the same
