Definition

  1. 1
    (Ficus sycomorus) Árbol similar a la higuera, con la que está estrechamente emparentado. Es oriundo del Medio Oriente y el norte de África, y aparece mencionado en la Biblia. Tiene el tronco ancho, las raíces gruesas y muy superficiales, y un ramaje poco denso y muy nudoso que brota de baja altura. Produce un fruto pequeño y amarillento, similar al higo pero menos apetitoso. Su madera es muy resistente, y los egipcios lo utilizaban para fabricar los ataudes para las momias.
  2. 2
    (Platanus spp.) Cualquiera de varios árboles nativos del hemisferio norte, de fuste alto y bien ramificado, con la corteza colorida desprendiéndose por placas todo a lo largo del año, lo que le da una apariencia vistosa y una gran resistencia a la polución, al impedir que sus poros se sellen por la acumulación de contaminantes. Muestra hojas palmatilobuladas y frutos incomestibles, globosos, con la superficie vellosa, formando pequeños racimos. Es común en la ornamentación de parques y paseos.
  3. 3
    (Acer pseudoplatanus) Árbol eurasiático de la familia del arce, de fuste recto y recubierto de una corteza gris y decidua. Tiene hojas palmatilobuladas, lo que junto con la corteza lo asemeja al sicomoro₂, pero su fruto lo hace inmediatamente distinguible por su clara forma de samara, con un ala bien visible. Las flores son verde claro y muy poco vistosas.
