Bei Brunswick gibt es schon lange ein totales Chaos. Unterschiedlichste Sorten scheinen mit dieser Bezeichnung zu kursieren. Dazu ein Auszug aus Ira Condits Hilgardia (1955).
Brunswick is another variety about which considerable confusion has existed. Much of this arises from the fact that most English descriptions and illustrations deal with the first-crop fruit, which horticulturists in the United States have found so different from figs of the main crop. Furthermore, as Eisen stated in 1901, this variety is erroneously known in California and parts of the South as Brown Turkey; in fact, price quotations of fresh figs in the Los Angeles markets still refer to Brunswick when the actual variety in sale is San Piero (Brown Turkey). This variety has apparently been widely distributed in fig-growing countries, and various names have been attached to it. Cuttings of the following numbers have fruited at Riverside, and all were found to be identical with Brunswick.
Baidi—P.I. No. 80,294, from Palestine.
Belle Dame—P.I. No. 69,010, from France.
Belle Dame Blanche—P.I. No. 86,790, from Yalta, Crimea.

Khurtmani—P.I. No. 80,297, from Palestine.
Magnolia, from Texas; cuttings from local trees at Greenwich, Connecticut; also, from the vicinity of Washington, D.C.
Reference to descriptions of some of these varieties found elsewhere in this report will show that the names are not synonyms of Brunswick; therefore, the material was sent incorrectly identified. Castle Kennedy is similar to Brunswick, but is generally regarded as a distinct variety.
