plane tree - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Plane tree
  Heb. 'armon (Gen. 30:37; Ezek. 31:8), rendered "chesnut" in the
  Authorized Version, but correctly "plane tree" in the Revised
  Version and the LXX. This tree is frequently found in Palestine,
  both on the coast and in the north. It usually sheds its outer
  bark, and hence its Hebrew name, which means "naked." (See CHESTNUT.)
