When the Assyrian is compared to a great tree it is described as excelling in its beauty the branches of the chestnut tree (Ezek. 31:8). It is identified with the “Plane-tree” which grows in Palestine. It was known to Jacob (Gen. 30:37). It is the Platanus orientalis. It thrives best in a rich moist soil, and is a noble and beautiful tree.
