 Platanus acerifolia The London plane tree was described for the first time in the 17 Century (in Spain). It is assumed that it is a hybrid of the Oriental Plane (Platanus orientalis) with the American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). |
 Platanus orientalis The Oriental plane tree is a widespread tree in the east and in southern Europe. In southern Europe, the plane is just as popular as a street tree as the London plane in northern Europe. |
