Ginkgoaceae

Ginkgoaceae!<-- This template has to be "warmed up" before it can be used, for some reason -->

The Ginkgoaceae is a family of gymnosperms which appeared during the Mesozoic Era, of which the only extant representative is Ginkgo biloba, which is for this reason sometimes regarded as a living fossil. Formerly, however, there were several other genera.
