(fig-mulberry). Not our sycamore or plane-tree, but a tree of the fig species growing in Egypt and Palestine and valued for its fruit and light, soft, durable wood (1 Kings 10:27; 1 Chron. 27:28; Psa. 78:47; Luke 19:4). Sycamine (Luke 17:6). Sycamore fruit grows singly or in clusters and in almost direct contact with the branches. It resembles the fig in shape, and though of acrid taste when first pulled soon becomes sweetish. Egyptian mummery-cases were made of the wood of the sycamore tree.
