Gingko Biloba is a conifer....

After taking a few more classes, I know know quite a bit about the Plant kingdom and the naming of plants. I'm even learning a bit of Latin.  Jeepers. 


Gingko Biloba a confier?   Apparently so - I would never have thought it. 
The way you can tell is that if you put the leaf up to the light you can see that there are needles which have fused together.   The Biloba part of the name means that there are 2 parts to the leaves.... bi-loba.  It totally makes sense.  Because I now know this fact, I have no more excuses to pronounce Biloba as 'Bliblah blahs'.  Yes I am weird.
