19. Maidenhair Tree (Ginkgo
biloba), with its distinctive fan shaped, fork-veined leaves, was imported
from the Far East as a shade tree. Distantly related to the pines, this
deciduous gymnosperm was known only from the fossil record before being
rediscovered in China where it was planted as a temple tree. |
