The Taipei Botanical Garden Leaf Pavilion was built in 1924 as the Leaf Pavilion of the Forestry Department of the Academia Sinica of the Governor-General's Office. In the early days of the Japanese occupation, in order to develop Taiwan's forest resources, he planned to engage in the "Taiwan Plant Survey Project", and the plants collected in the field were dried and made into "leaf specimens" for preservation, so as to identify plant species. As a result, the museum became the first herbarium in Taiwan to be built specifically for the storage of plant leaf specimens, and is the birthplace of Taiwan's forestry research and plant resources survey. The museum is affiliated with the Forestry Laboratory of the Council of Agriculture, an administrative body of Taiwan, and was declared a municipal monument by the Taipei City Government in 2008. The precious herbarium has now been moved to a modern herbarium. 2016 is the 120th anniversary of the Taipei Botanical Garden, and the Forestry Laboratory is to inherit the history of plant research in Taiwan. Reopened in 2017, it provides a glimpse into the history of botanical research and continues the mission of botanical research, conservation and education in Taiwan.
