エンゲルベルト・ケンペル
Engelbert Kaempfer first introduced the spelling "ginkgo" in his book "Amoenitatum Exoticarum". It is considered that he may have misspelled "Ginkjo" as "Ginkgo". This misspelling was included by Carl Linnaeus in his book "Mantissa plantarum II" and has become the name of the tree's genus.
