Reply to comment by ilovepowernapping in Beach on South Coast of Sardinia with fig plants [OC, 4624×3468] by ilovepowernapping

Ficus can also mean hemorrhoids in English, but primarily refers to a type of tree that is a common house plant in USA, due to the ease of which you can airlayer the roots, and is sometimes used as an assignment in horticulture classes.

Figs in USA is the fruit Fig or an abbreviated representation of the word figures.

I do not know latin. What I do know is that I have never met anyone in the USA that calls them anything other than Prickly Pears or Nopales, which is how they would be labeled in a store here. I also deal with them often, and have three growing in pots next to me.
