Meaning of "salisburia" in English

"Salisburia" is a term historically used as a genus name for the ginkgo tree, known scientifically as Ginkgo biloba. The name "salisburia" is derived from Richard Anthony Salisbury, an English botanist. The ginkgo tree is a unique species because it is considered a living fossil, with no close relatives in the plant kingdom. It is the only surviving species of the order Ginkgoales, which existed around 200 million years ago. Ginkgo trees are often found in urban environments, appreciated for their resilience and distinctive fan-shaped leaves.
