[5] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

sycamore
   more properly sycomore heb. shikmoth and shikmim, gr.
   sycomoros, a tree which in its general character resembles the
   fig-tree, while its leaves resemble those of the mulberry; hence
   it is called the fig-mulberry ficus sycomorus. at jericho,
   zacchaeus climbed a sycomore-tree to see jesus as he passed by
   luke 19:4. this tree was easily destroyed by frost ps.
   78:47, and therefore it is found mostly in the "vale" 1 kings
   10:27; 2 chr. 1:15: in both passages the r.v. has properly
   "lowland", i.e., the "low country," the shephelah, where the
   climate is mild. amos 7:14 refers to its fruit, which is of an
   inferior character; so also probably jeremiah 24:2. it is to
   be distinguished from our sycamore the acer pseudo-platanus,
   which is a species of maple often called a plane-tree.
