Ginkgo biloba is commonly known as?

Ginkgo biloba is commonly known as the Maidenhair Tree. This name is derived from the shape of its leaves, which resemble the leaves of the Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum), both of which share a similar fan-like form. The Ginkgo itself is a unique species, known for its resilience and adaptability, often referred to as a "living fossil" because it has remained largely unchanged for millions of years.

The other names provided in the choices are associated with different species. The Goldenchain Tree, for instance, refers to Laburnum, which is known for its beautiful hanging clusters of yellow flowers. The Saucer Magnolia is a hybrid magnolia known for its large, showy flowers, and the Tulip Tree is another common name for Liriodendron tulipifera, recognized for its tulip-like flowers. Each of these trees has distinct characteristics, making the name Maidenhair Tree specifically representative of Ginkgo biloba.
