Ginkgo leaves
Ginkgo leaves. Leaves of the Chinese maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba). The two-lobed leaf is unique among trees in having no midrib or network of branching veins. Instead, veins fan out from the base of the leaf. Ginkgo biloba is the only living representative of an ancient family of plants (Ginkgoales). As its name suggests, the Chinese maidenhair tree is native to China, but was introduced to Europe in the eighteenth century

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Ginkgo leaves, belonging to the Chinese maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba). What makes these leaves truly remarkable is their unique structure. Unlike other trees, Ginkgo leaves lack a midrib or network of branching veins. Instead, delicate veins elegantly fan out from the leaf's base, creating an enchanting pattern. Ginkgo biloba holds immense significance as it stands as the sole living representative of an ancient family of plants known as Ginkgoales. Originating in China, this majestic tree made its way to Europe during the eighteenth century and has since become a beloved botanical treasure worldwide. The backlit setting adds a touch of ethereal charm to this artful illustration. The image beautifully captures every detail and texture found on these glistening leaves. It serves as a testament to nature's enduring wonders and reminds us that even in our modern world, remnants of ancient life still thrive. With its biological importance and status as a living fossil, Ginkgo biloba symbolizes resilience and longevity. This dioecious gymnosperm continues to captivate scientists and enthusiasts alike with its timeless allure. Science Photo Library presents this stunning visual masterpiece that not only celebrates the marvels of botany but also invites contemplation about our planet's rich natural heritage.
