Ginkgo biloba
The Ginkgo tree is thought to come originally from China and it is used in many herbal remedies to treat bad memory. It's called a living fossil because fossils of ginco leaves are quite common.
The Ginco tree usually grows 20-30m high with some specimens in China being as high as 50m with leaves 5-10cm long.
