Medicinal Plants of the World

Abstract

Gingko biloba is a 30 to 40 m high dioecious tree of the CYCADACEAE family, with a girth of about 4 meters. The trees can live for hundreds of years. The bark is light to dark brown with rough grooves and reticulate fissures. The leaves are fan-shaped with bifurcated ribs, fresh green and golden yellow in autumn. The tree flowers for the first time when it is between 20 to 30 years old. The flowers are dioecious. They are in the axils of the lower leaves of the annual growth. The male flowering parts are attached to short catkins. The female flowers have longer pedicles and are at the end of a leafless branch. Fertilization occurs months after pollination by spermatozoids, although usually only one ovule is fully formed. The seeds later become fleshy and plum-like round and light green or yellow in color.
