Hampyeong County (''Hampyeong-gun'') is a county in South Jeolla Province, South Korea. History Hampyeong used to be called Jinguk(진국) in prehistoric times, and Mahan in the Samhan age.

The rate of evolution within the genus has been slow, and almost all its species had become extinct by the end of the Pliocene. The sole surviving species, ''Ginkgo biloba'' is only found in the wild in China, but is cultivated around the world. The relationships between ginkgos and other groups of plants are not fully resolved. Prehistory The ginkgo (''Ginkgo biloba'') is a living fossil, with fossils similar to the modern plant dating back to the Permian, 270 million years ago.
