1. ginkgonoun

   A tree native to China with small, fan-shaped leaves and edible seeds.

2. ginkgonoun

   The seed of the ginkgo tree.

3. Etymology: From Chinese 鴨脚 (yājiǎo) "duck feet" due to the shape of the leaves, the pronunciation then changing (along with the characters) to 銀杏 (yínxìng) "silver apricot". The same characters 銀杏 are used in Japanese (ichō) and Korean (eunhang). The Japanese characters used to write ginkgo look as though they could be read ginkyō, and this was the name Engelbert Kaempfer, the first Westerner to see the species in 1690, wrote down in his Amoenitates Exoticae (1712). However, his "y" was misread as a "g", and the misspelling stuck.

1. Ginkgo

   Ginkgo is a genus of non-flowering seed plants. The scientific name is also used as the English name. The order to which it belongs, Ginkgoales, first appeared in the Permian, 270 million years ago, and Ginkgo is now the only living genus within the order. The rate of evolution within the genus has been slow, and almost all its species had become extinct by the end of the Pliocene. The sole surviving species, Ginkgo biloba is only found in the wild in China, but is cultivated around the world. The relationships between ginkgos and other groups of plants are not fully resolved.

1. ginkgo

   Ginkgo is a type of large, deciduous tree native to China known for its distinctive fan-shaped leaves. It belongs to the Ginkgoaceae family and is considered a living fossil because it has no close relatives and retains many primitive plant characteristics. Its seeds and leaves have been used in traditional medicine and as food, and it is also grown as a decorative tree because of its unique appearance. The Ginkgo Biloba is the only surviving species within this category of plants.
