From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Plant \Plant\, n. [AS. plante, L. planta.]       1. A vegetable; an organized living being, generally without             feeling and voluntary motion, and having, when complete, a             root, stem, and leaves, though consisting sometimes only             of a single leafy expansion, or a series of cellules, or             even a single cellule.          Note: Plants are divided by their structure and methods of                reproduction into two series, ph[91]nogamous or                flowering plants, which have true flowers and seeds,                and cryptogamous or flowerless plants, which have no                flowers, and reproduce by minute one-celled spores. In                both series are minute and simple forms and others of                great size and complexity. As to their mode of                nutrition, plants may be considered as self-supporting                and dependent. Self-supporting plants always contain                chlorophyll, and subsist on air and moisture and the                matter dissolved in moisture, and as a general rule                they excrete oxygen, and use the carbonic acid to                combine with water and form the material for their                tissues. Dependent plants comprise all fungi and many                flowering plants of a parasitic or saprophytic nature.                As a rule, they have no chlorophyll, and subsist mainly                or wholly on matter already organized, thus utilizing                carbon compounds already existing, and not excreting                oxygen. But there are plants which are partly dependent                and partly self-supporting. The movements of climbing                plants, of some insectivorous plants, of leaves,                stamens, or pistils in certain plants, and the ciliary                motion of zo[94]spores, etc., may be considered a kind                of voluntary motion.          2. A bush, or young tree; a sapling; hence, a stick or staff.             [bd]A plant of stubborn oak.[b8] --Dryden.          3. The sole of the foot. [R.] [bd]Knotty legs and plants of             clay.[b8] --B. Jonson.          4. (Com.) The whole machinery and apparatus employed in             carrying on a trade or mechanical business; also,             sometimes including real estate, and whatever represents             investment of capital in the means of carrying on a             business, but not including material worked upon or             finished products; as, the plant of a foundry, a mill, or             a railroad.          5. A plan; an artifice; a swindle; a trick. [Slang]                         It was n't a bad plant, that of mine, on Fikey.                                                                               --Dickens.          6.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Palm tree       (Heb. tamar), the date-palm characteristic of Palestine. It is       described as "flourishing" (Ps. 92:12), tall (Cant. 7:7),       "upright" (Jer. 10:5). Its branches are a symbol of victory       (Rev. 7:9). "Rising with slender stem 40 or 50, at times even       80, feet aloft, its only branches, the feathery, snow-like,       pale-green fronds from 6 to 12 feet long, bending from its top,       the palm attracts the eye wherever it is seen." The whole land       of Palestine was called by the Greeks and Romans Phoenicia,       i.e., "the land of palms." Tadmor in the desert was called by       the Greeks and Romans Palmyra, i.e., "the city of palms." The       finest specimens of this tree grew at Jericho (Deut. 34:3) and       Engedi and along the banks of the Jordan. Branches of the palm       tree were carried at the feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:40). At       our Lord's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem the crowds took       palm branches, and went forth to meet him, crying, "Hosanna:       Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the       Lord" (Matt. 21:8; John 12:13). (See {DATE}.)

Plane tree       Heb. 'armon (Gen. 30:37; Ezek. 31:8), rendered "chesnut" in the       Authorized Version, but correctly "plane tree" in the Revised       Version and the LXX. This tree is frequently found in Palestine,       both on the coast and in the north. It usually sheds its outer       bark, and hence its Hebrew name, which means "naked." (See {CHESTNUT}.)

Growth increased to 3.8% in 1993 and 5.5% in 1994 - the    highest rate in Europe except for Albania. All of the growth since    1991 has come from the booming private sector, which now accounts for    at least 55% of GDP, even though privatization of the state-owned    enterprises is proceeding slowly and most industry remains in state    hands. Industrial production increased 12% in 1994 - led by 50% jumps    in the output of motor vehicles, radios and televisions, and pulp and    paper - and is now well above the 1990 level. Inflation, which had    approached 1,200% annually in early 1990, was down to about 30% in    1994, as the government held the budget deficit to 1.5% of GDP. After    five years of steady increases, unemployment has leveled off at about    16% nationwide, although it approaches 30% in some regions. The trade    deficit was sharply reduced in 1994, due mainly to increased exports    to Western Europe, Poland's main customer. The leftist government    elected in September 1993 gets generally good marks from foreign    observers for its management of the budget but is often criticized for    not moving faster on privatization.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $191.1 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 5.5% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $4,920 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 30% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 16.1% (November 1994)       Budget:    revenues: $27.1 billion    expenditures: $30 billion, including capital expenditures of $NA (1994    est.)       Exports: $16.3 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: intermediate goods 26.5%, machinery and transport    equipment 18.1%, miscellaneous manufactures 16.7%, foodstuffs 9.4%,    fuels 8.4% (1993)    partners: Germany 33.4%, Russia 10.2%, Italy 5.3%, UK 4.3% (1993)       Imports: $18.1 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: machinery and transport equipment 29.6%, intermediate    goods 18.5%, chemicals 13.3%, fuels 12.5%, miscellaneous manufactures    10.1%    partners: Germany 35.8%, Italy 9.2%, Russia 8.5%, UK 6.6% (1993)       External debt: $47 billion (1993); note - Poland's Western government    creditors promised in 1991 to forgive 30% of Warsaw's $35 billion    official debt immediately and to forgive another 20% in 1994; foreign    banks agreed in early 1994 to forgive 45% of their $12 billion debt    claim       Industrial production: growth rate 12% (1994 est.)       Electricity:    capacity: 31,120,000 kW    production: 124 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 2,908 kWh (1993)       Industries: machine building, iron and steel, extractive industries,    chemicals, shipbuilding, food processing, glass, beverages, textiles       Agriculture: accounts for 7% of GDP;
