About

Ginkgo apodes is an extinct species of plant in the order Ginkgoales. It is known from fossils found in the Yixian Formation dated to the Tithonian period, from the Late Jurassic, located near Mount Yinwoshan, Yixian region, Liaoning Province, China.

The leaves of G. apodes are similar to those that are known in the rest of the representatives of the genus Ginkgo, with a fan-shaped leaf characterized by finger-like lobes.
