Ginkgo biloba: The Ovuliferous Leaf and Its Phylogenetic Implication

银杏叶生胚珠的发现及其系统意义


This paper reports the occurrence of the ovuliferous leaves on a Maidenhair tree
(Ginkgo biloba)growing in Longdong, Yiyuan County, Shandong Province. This phenome-
non is discussed in connection with the history of Ginkgoales. It is believed that this discovery
serves as an illustration of the hypothesis that the secondary apical position of ovules
(Ginkgoales) is a modification of the marginal position (Pteridospermidae). Again, it proba-
bly leads to the assumption that, in Ginkgo, “the foliage leaves” bear some features of “the
sporophylls” and they are derived from telomes.
