Ezikhathini zasendulo, ama-botanists ayebiza isihlahla sendiza ngokuthi "imephu yasempumalanga" ngoba amaqabunga esihlahla sendiza abukeka njengamaqabunga e-maple. ECrimea nase-Ukraine, izihlahla zendiza zibizwa ngokuthi yi-sycamore, njenge-maple. Kepha uma ubeka amaqabunga esihlahla sendiza nokuyimapula eceleni, uzobona ukuthi ububanzi bamaqabunga maple angama-5-6 cm, nesihlahla sendiza singama-25 cm. Umuthi wendiza mdala kakhulu kune-maple, ungabizwa ngokuthi wesikhathi sama-dinosaurs. Ngesikhathi sezimbali, umehluko phakathi kwalezi zihlahla ubonakala ngokushesha. Izimbali zeMaple zincane, zinezindebe eziluhlaza okotshani kanye ne-corolla yezilwane ezinhlanu. Ama-inflorescence esihlahla sikamapulangwe ayizimbali eziphuzi zeduna (am stamens) nezimbali zabesifazane zibomvu ngamabala ansomi (amapisto). Ngemuva kokuqothuka kwesinamera, izithelo ezincane eziluhlaza ngendlela yamantongomane, ezakha izithelo eziyindilinga ukuvuselelwa unyaka wonke, zivuthwe esikhundleni sembali ngayinye yowesifazane. Futhi kuphela ngoFebhuwari-Mashi, izithelo ezivuthiwe ziqhekeka zibe amantongomane amancanyana ombala obomvu okugqwala futhi athwa umoya ngohambo olude.
I-Platanus (Platanus)Isihlahla sendiza sihlukahluka ku-maple ngosayizi waso omkhulu nokuphila isikhathi eside. Enye yezihlahla ezinkulu kakhulu emhlabeni, isihlahla sendiza sakha umqhele ongamamitha angama-40 ububanzi. Ezikhathini zasendulo bekukhona izihlahla zindiza, ngaphansi kombhede walowo nalowo ongafika kubakhweli bamahhashi abayikhulu. Emazweni ashisayo izihlahla zezindiza ziyaziswa kakhulu, ngoba zinikeza isithunzi sokusindisa nokuphola. Akumangalisi ukuthi ama-sycamores abanzi abanzi abizwa ngokuthi “umuthi onomthunzi”. Isihlahla sendiza esidala kakhulu nesikhulu kunazo zonke sikhula eTurkey esiGodini saseBuyukdere. Ukuphakama kwesihlahla sendiza kungamamitha angama-50, ububanzi be-trunk buyi-13.4 m, isiqu somjikelezo singama-42 m, ubudala besihlahla sendiza lesi singaphezulu kweminyaka engama-2300. Enye yezinhlobo zezihlahla zendiza - isihlahla sendiza esisempumalanga sikhula eMpumalanga sisuka eMedithera siye ezintabeni zaseHimalayan. Lesi sihlahla sendiza satshalwa kudala emihosheni, emithonjeni naseziphethweni, kuma-altare, emathempelini nasezakhiweni ezivikelayo, sivikela emisebeni yelanga eshisayo.
I-Platanus (Platanus)ETurkey nasePheresiya, isihlahla sendiza sasempumalanga sibizwa ngokuthi isihlahla sendiza. Izihlahla ezinamandla zezindiza eMpumalanga zanikwa amagama, kwabhalwa izinganekwane ngabo. Izihlahla zamaplanethi aseSlender zaziculwa yizimbongi zasempumalanga. Eningizimu yeYurophu, izinkolelo ezahlukahlukene zothando zazihlotshaniswa nezihlahla zindiza. EMpumalanga, kudala kwatshalwa eceleni kwemigwaqo, emapaki, ezingadini, kuma-mosque nase caravanserais. Izihlahla zamabhanoyi ezinhle kakhulu zezingadi ezinhle zaseShiraz zachazwa ngekhulu le-17 yisazi sobucwebe saseFrance, uChardin, owayehlala e-Iran iminyaka eyi-10. Izingadi zaseChinar zaphuka eKashmir yizizukulwane zikaTimur, kwathi yena uTimur wazakhela “ingadi yendiza” eduze kwaseSamarkand, wangcwatshwa eluhlaza okotshani besigodlo sezwe sakwaBag-i-Chinar. Emazweni amaSulumane, isithombe somuthi wendiza singatholakala kuma-mosaic ama-mosque, kuma-miniature amahle e-Iranian. Ngesikhathi samaTimurids, endaweni yaseSamarkand yokudweba imidwebo kwakukhona izithombe zomuthi wendiza, zenziwe ngopende oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngemuva ngemuva okumhlophe kuhlangene noku-gilding. ECaucasus, kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo, isihlahla sendiza sasibhekwa njengesihlahla esingcwele.
I-Platanus (Platanus)Lezi zihlahla zezindiza zihlonishwe futhi phakathi kwabakhonza umlilo base-Azoroan baseZoroaster. Manje kulelizwe kunabantu abangaphezu kwenkulungwane abayindilinga-izindiza. Ezinganekwaneni zamaGrikhi, isihlahla sendiza sasibhekwa njengesihlahla esingcwele. Umuthi wendiza wawungumuthi kankulunkulukazi u-Helena - unkulunkulu wakudala wokuzala nezitshalo. Umuthi wendiza ushiye uphawu lwawo emlandweni wobuKristu. Abantu basempumalanga yeMedithera bebelokhu bemhlonipha lo muthi kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo. Kukhulunywa ngalo eNcwadini kaGenesise, eNcwadini yoMphrofethi uHezekeli. Esiqhingini saseGreek iKefalonia, esigodlweni sezindela esisungulwe nguMfu uGerasim (1508-1579), kukhula izihlahla ezimbili ezingcwele zomoya. Ngenhla komunye wemithombo eduze kwesigodlo sezindela uzobona izihlahla ezimbili zindiza ezitshalwe iSt Gerasim. “Izithunzi ezisakaza umdabuli” ziyajabulisa futhi zijabule ngesimo sazo sobuhle besintu seminyaka eyinkulungwane.
