Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -You may be familiar with Ginkgo trees because of their fan-shaped leaves that turn a vibrant yellow in fall as the tree swiftly defoliates or from the common misconception about their smell.
Detailed explanation-2: -The putrid odor often associated with ginkgo seeds typically develops only after they have lain on the ground for several days and have begun to rot. The smell is due to the presence of two volatile compounds in the sarcotesta-butanoic and hexanoic acids (Parliament 1995).
