THE FOSSIL HISTORY OF GINKGO LINNAEUS | BIONATURE

The Ginkgophytes are a group of ancient plants that are thought to have existed during the Early Permian period and are now represented by a single monotypic genus, Ginkgo biloba L. Although there is a significant fossil record of Ginkgo and Ginkgo-like leaves, their reproductive systems are rather uncommon, making it difficult to track Ginkgo's evolutionary history. Ginkgoales, which contains Trichopitys, Polyspermophyllum, Karkenia, Toretzia, Umaltolepis, Yimaia, Grenana, and Ginkgo, appears to be a monophyletic group, according to cladistic study.
