The origin of the common fig is debated. The modern name stems from the common fig plants among the various pools. The common fig "Ficus carica" is pollinated by "Blastophaga psenes". It pollinates the common fig "Ficus carica" and the closely related "Ficus palmata". The common fig is grown for its edible fruit throughout the temperate world. The common fig tree also sprouts from the root and stolon tissues. The common fig contains significant quantities of two furanocoumarins, psoralen and bergapten. Of these, the common fig ("Ficus carica") is well known and thoroughly documented.
