Ginkgoites
Ginkgoites is a genus that refers to extinct plants belonging to Ginkgoaceae. Fossils of these plants have been found around the globe during the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. The name was created as a form genus in 1919 by Albert Seward who stated: "I ... propose to employ the name Ginkgoites for leaves that it is believed belong either to plants generically identical with Ginkgo or to very closely allied types".[1]

gollark: Hmm, I wonder if I can horribly abuse z3 for collatz like I abused it for mazes.
gollark: But for applications where you know n < 2^64 you can just hardcode it yourself if you care.
gollark: Why would they special-case collatzen?
gollark: Hahahahahahahano.
