 Plane tree
    Heb. 'armon (Gen. 30:37; Ezek. 31:8), rendered "chesnut" in the
    Authorized Version, but correctly "plane tree" in the Revised
    Version and the LXX. This tree is frequently found in Palestine,
    both on the coast and in the north. It usually sheds its outer
    bark, and hence its Hebrew name, which means "naked." (See CHESTNUT.)
