      eik, G. eiche, OHG. eih, Icel. eik, Sw. ek, Dan. eeg.]
      1. (Bot.) Any tree or shrub of the genus {Quercus}. The oaks
            have alternate leaves, often variously lobed, and
            staminate flowers in catkins. The fruit is a smooth nut,
            called an {acorn}, which is more or less inclosed in a
            scaly involucre called the cup or cupule. There are now
            recognized about three hundred species, of which nearly
            fifty occur in the United States, the rest in Europe,
            Asia, and the other parts of North America, a very few
            barely reaching the northern parts of South America and
            Africa. Many of the oaks form forest trees of grand
            proportions and live many centuries. The wood is usually
            hard and tough, and provided with conspicuous medullary
            rays, forming the silver grain.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Willows
      (1.) Heb. 'arabim (Lev. 23:40; Job 40:22; Isa. 15:7; 44:3, 4;
      Ps. 137:1, 2). This was supposed to be the weeping willow,
      called by Linnaeus Salix Babylonica, from the reference in Ps.
      137. This tree is frequently found "on the coast, overhanging
      wells and pools. There is a conspicuous tree of this species
      over a pond in the plain of Acre, and others on the Phoenician
      plain." There are several species of the salix in Palestine, but
      it is not indigenous to Babylonia, nor was it cultivated there.
      Some are of opinion that the tree intended is the tamarisk or
      poplar.
     
         (2.) Heb. tzaphtzaphah (Ezek. 17:5), called by the Arabs the
      safsaf, the general name for the willow. This may be the Salix
      AEgyptica of naturalists.
     
         Tristram thinks that by the "willow by the water-courses," the
      Nerium oleander, the rose-bay oleander, is meant. He says, "It
      fringes the Upper Jordan, dipping its wavy crown of red into the
      spray in the rapids under Hermon, and is nutured by the oozy
      marshes in the Lower Jordan nearly as far as to Jericho...On the
      Arnon, on the Jabbok, and the Yarmuk it forms a continuous
      fringe. In many of the streams of Moab it forms a complete
      screen, which the sun's rays can never penetrate to evaporate
      the precious moisture. The wild boar lies safely ensconced under
      its impervious cover."
