  SPEAKING THE PLANE TRUTH
Platanus orientalis is a native of southern Eurasia from west central Italy eastward to Persia.
Species of Platanus have alternate, simple and palmately lobed leaves, and the stem is often somewhat zigzag, bending slightly to the right, then the left, then the right, and so forth, as each leaf is formed.
As the fruits in the head finally ripen, the achenes are pushed outward when their bases become separated from the core, the long hairs are exposed, and the lightweight packages are then wind-dispersed via these parachutes.
