Morphology and Anatomy of Vegetative Organs in Ginkgo biloba

  • Chapter
Ginkgo Biloba A Global Treasure

Abstract

There have been many studies of Ginkgo biloba L. in addition to the famous study by Hirase in 1896 [1]. Before and after Hirase’s study, Ginkgo was a plant that attracted considerable attention from other botanists in Japan. There were some studies of vegetative organs, in addition to those of reproductive organs, of Ginkgo in the 19th century. For example, a study in 1896 of the burls, known as “chichi” (nipples) in Japanese, by Fujii [2] is of particular interest.
