  Ginkgo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), frequently misspelled as "Gingko", and sometimes known as the Maidenhair Tree, is a unique tree with no close living relatives.
It is classified in its own division, the Ginkgophyta, comprising the single class Ginkgoopsida, order Ginkgoales, family Ginkgoaceae, genus Ginkgo and just the one species.
It is one of the best known examples of a living fossil.

A combination of amazing disease resistance, insect-resistant wood and the ability to form aerial roots and sprouts means that ginkgos are very long-lived, with some specimens claimed to be more than 2,500 years old; a 3,000 year-old gingko is reported in Shandong province in China (Lewington and Parker, 183).

We summarize information on naturalized and invasive conifers (class Pinopsida) worldwide (data from 40 countries, some with remote states/territories), and contrast these findings with patterns for other gymnosperms (classes Cycadopsida, Gnetopsida and Ginkgoopsida) and for woody angiosperms.
Eighty conifer taxa (79 species and one hybrid; 13% of species) are known to be naturalized, and 36 species (6%) are `invasive'.
There are also no known invasive species in classes Cycadopsida, Gnetopsida or Ginkgoopsida.

 Gymnosperm description
This database draws no real distinctions above the level of Order, assigning the gymnosperms to four Orders: Ginkgoales, Cycadales, Coniferales and Gnetales.
Each of these is assigned to one class (Ginkgoopsida, Cycadopsida, Coniferopsida and Gnetopsida) and one division (Ginkgophyta, Cycadophyta, Pinophyta, and Gnetophyta).
However, like many taxonomists, I am waiting for the current hubbub of genetic analysis to produce a reasonably conclusive analysis of the entire gymnosperm group.

The class Gnetopsida contains three genera in separate orders, all of great botanical and evolutionary interest.

 Kanagawa’s Official Tree, the Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) (GeoSymbols)
The ginkgo is a living fossil, one that has changed little since the Triassic Period (the middle of the Age of Dinosaurs).
This survivor with the big fan-shaped leaves is the only member of the order Ginkgoales and one of just two species in the class Ginkgoopsida.
Imagine if there were just two species of mammals (Class Mammalia) or birds (Class Aves) alive today!
