 sycamore
      n 1: variably colored and sometimes variegated hard tough elastic
           wood of a sycamore tree [syn: lacewood]
      2: any of several trees of the genus Platanus having thin pale
         bark that scales off in small plates and lobed leaves and
         ball-shaped heads of fruits [syn: plane tree, platan]
      3: Eurasian maple tree with pale gray bark that peels in flakes
         like that of a sycamore tree; leaves with five ovate lobes
         yellow in autumn [syn: great maple, scottish maple, Acer
         pseudoplatanus]
      4: thick-branched wide-spreading tree of Africa and adjacent
         southwestern Asia often buttressed with branches rising
         from near the ground; produces cluster of edible but
         inferior figs on short leafless twigs; the Biblical
         sycamore [syn: sycamore fig, mulberry fig, Ficus
         sycomorus]
 Sycamore
    more properly sycomore (Heb. shikmoth and shikmim, Gr.
    sycomoros), a tree which in its general character resembles the
    fig-tree, while its leaves resemble those of the mulberry; hence
    it is called the fig-mulberry (Ficus sycomorus). At Jericho,
    Zacchaeus climbed a sycomore-tree to see Jesus as he passed by
    (Luke 19:4). This tree was easily destroyed by frost (Ps.
    78:47), and therefore it is found mostly in the "vale" (1 Kings
    10:27; 2 Chr. 1:15: in both passages the R.V. has properly
    "lowland"), i.e., the "low country," the shephelah, where the
    climate is mild. Amos (7:14) refers to its fruit, which is of an
    inferior character; so also probably Jeremiah (24:2). It is to
    be distinguished from our sycamore (the Acer pseudo-platanus),
    which is a species of maple often called a plane-tree.
