Sandarach is procured from common juniper; and incense from a juniper with yellow fruit.

1789, Erasmus Darwin, The Loves of the Plants, J. Johnson, page 9:

cycad

From translingual Cycas (“genus of tropical trees”).

As has been already remarked, the occurrence of genuine Cycads in the Carboniferous vegetation has not been demonstrated, and the same holds good of all the Palaeozoic floras. True Cycads, therefore, so far as known, make their first appearance in the Trias, at the commencement of the Mesozoic period, where they are represented by the genera Pterophyllum, Zamites, and Podozamites.

1872, Henry Alleyne Nicholson, A Manual of Palaeontology for the Use of Students with a General Introduction on the Principles of Palaeontology:

Then, after incomputable years, he was no longer man but a man-like beast, roving in forests of giant fern and calamite, or building an uncouth nest in the boughs of mighty cycads.

larch

From early modern German Larche, Lärche, from Middle High German larche, from Old High German larihha, early borrowing from Latin larix, itself possibly of Gaulish origin. In the first century AD, Vitruvius wrote that the tree was given the Latin name "larigna" when the Romans discovered it at the town of Larignum.

The Larch-tree, with us, groweth slowly, and to be found in few places; it hath a rugged bark, and boughts that branch in good order, with divers small yellowish bunched eminences, set thereon at several distances, from whence tufts of many small, long, and narrow smooth leaves do yearly come forth; it beareth among the green leaves many beautiful flowers, which are of a fine crimson colour […]

Thus the Birch Canoe was builded
In the valley, by the river,

All its mystery and its magic,
All the lightness of the birch-tree,

Joan was thinking: ‘She looks like a tree […] it must be the green dress. But her eyes are like water, all greeny and shadowy and deep looking—a tree near a pool, that’s what she’s like, a tall tree. A beech tree? No, that’s too spready—a larch tree, that’s Elizabeth; a larch tree just greening over.'

1940, Rosetta E. Clarkson, Green Enchantments: The Magic Spell of Gardens, The Macmillan Company, page 273:

During the early 1980s to early 1990s, and especially in the long drought period of 1982-3, extensive fires swept through natural forests in many parts of the world.

In his way of transcription ginkyo would have been Ginkjo or Ginkio but was printed as Ginkgo. This was read by Carl Linnaeus, and the misspelling stuck.

1979, Monique Wittig, Sande Zeig, Lesbian Peoples, page 37:

No phallus seeks a sheath in this "mere hole," no Freudian or Lacanian child passes out through the root fibres and tangled grasses to become the symbolic phallus his deprived mother lacks. Instead, what is "fretilizing," fecundating, what leaves its damp stain from Regen't Park down to Euston, is the cyprine juice of female sexual pleasure, cyprine juice signalling a pleasure that, in Lacan's terms, is "beyond the phallus" ( 145 ) and supplementary to the biology of reproduction.
