'''''Platanus orientalis''''', also called '''Chinar tree''',<ref name=GRIN/> the '''Old World Sycamore''' or the '''Oriental Plane tree''',<ref name=BSBI07>{{BSBI 2007 |access-date=2014-10-17}}</ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?28803 |title=USDA GRIN Taxonomy |accessdate=19 August 2014 |archive-date=24 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924143536/http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?28803 |url-status=dead }} is a large, deciduous [[tree]] of the [[Platanaceae]] family. It is known for its longevity and spreading crown. <br />
<br />
The species name derives from its historical distribution eastward from the [[Balkans]], where it was recognized in ancient Greek history and literature. Following Greek usage it is called ''Platane'' or related names in [[Europe]]. It was equally as famous to the Iranian-speaking world and from [[Turkey]] to Occupied [[Kashmir]] is called ''Chenar'' or related names, following the Iranian. <br />
<br />
The native range of the Oriental plane is Eurasia from the [[Balkans]] to as far east as at least [[Iran]]. Some accounts extend its native range to [[Iberian Peninsula|Iberia]] in the west, and to the [[Himalaya]]s in the east. <br />
<br />
The oriental plane is found naturally in [[river]]ine settings, together with such trees as [[alder]], [[willow]] and [[Populus|poplar]]. However, it is quite capable of survival and success in dry soils once it is established. In Kashmir it is recognised as the State tree of the region.<br />

The Chinar was introduced to Kashmir, roughly 650 years ago, by the [[Sufi]] Saint Syed Qasim Shah. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.risingkashmir.com/-Chinar--Integral-part-of-Kashmir-s-culture-and-landscape-69847 | title=Chinar: Integral part of Kashmir's culture and landscape | date=11 July 2021 }}</ref> After the advent of Muslim rule, ''Chinar'' continued to be a major garden and landscape tree, and dominates many historic gardens. It is a living heritage of Kashmir. It is seen as a symbol for the region. It is a majestic tree that can be found throughout the landscape of the valley, hillsides and cities, generally called ''{{transl|ks|booune}}'' in [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]] and ''chinar'' in [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=[9]|url=http://jktourism.org/index.php/chinar|date=May 19, 2020|website=Official Website of Jammu & Kashmir Tourism}}</ref> The tree known for its elegance and exuberance has remained an attraction for artists and litterateurs. One tree believed to be planted in 1374 A.D at the [[Chattergam]] village by an Islamic mystic Syed Abul Qaim Hamadani who accompanied [[Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani]] from [[Iran]] to [[Kashmir]], is believed by many in Kashmir to be the world's oldest surviving chinar tree.<ref>{{cite web|title=627-year-old living legend found in Kashmir|url=http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=128596|author=Rajesh Bhat|date=2007-12-24|work=Merinews.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Mooney-Singh|first=Chris|date=2014|title=Pantun of the Chinar Grove (Sri Nagar, Kashmir)|journal=Manoa|volume=26|issue=1|pages=68–69|doi=10.1353/man.2014.0024|s2cid=143772200|issn=1527-943X}}</ref><br />

The Chinar leaf is considered a national symbol in [[Azad Kashmir|Azad Jammu and Kashmir]]. The [[:File:AzadKashmirSeal.png|government seal]] continues to include the leaf. Many universities, including the [[University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir|University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir]] also include the symbol. <br />
