k Ginkgo leaves. Leaves of the Chinese maidenhair tree, Ginkgo biloba. These two lobed leaves are unique among trees in having no midrib and no network of veins rather the leaves have a constantly branching fan of veins from the base of the leaf. The leaves turn a golden yellow in autumn. This species of maidenhair tree is the only living representative of the ancient Ginkgoales family Ginkgoaceae. Ginkgo biloba has separate male and female plants. The tree is adaptable to almost any climate, and from China it was successfully introduced into Europe early in the 18th century.
