Platanus occidentalis (species) (Platanus (genus), Platanaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Species of plane tree native to North America; the tallest of the plane trees, reaching more than 50 m (160 feet) in height. Its pendent, smooth, ball-shaped seed clusters usually dangle singly and often persist after leaf fall. It is distinguished from other trees by its mottled exfoliating bark, which flakes off in great irregular masses, leaving the surface mottled, and greenish-white, gray and brown. For trees known simply as "sycamore," use Acer Pseudoplatanus, which is a species of maple.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Plataan die inheems is in Noord-Amerika. De grootste worden meer dan 50 meter hoog. De gladde vruchtbolletjes hangen meestal alleen en blijven vaak aan de boom zitten als de bladeren zijn afgevallen. De soort is te onderscheiden van andere bomen door zijn schilferende schors. Door het afschilferen van onregelmatige stukken schors ontstaat er een rijk geschakeerd patroon groenwitte, grijze en bruine vlekken. Gebruik ���Acer Pseudoplatanus' voor de gewone esdoorn. |
