Morphology

Ginkgophytina = ginkgo (opaque) = ginkgo + phytina

The word is a specialized scientific taxonomic formation built on ginkgo plus a technical class-group ending, so the full category meaning is not easily predictable for general learners.

Etymology

The word Ginkgophytina joins the tree name Ginkgo and the root phyto, which means 'plant', so it refers to the group of plants that includes the ginkgo and its close relatives.
