Incipiently, Taiwan’s plant research major milestone was under Japanese colonial rule. In early days, several Japanese botanists made excellent classifications. In particular Dr. Yamamoto Yoshimatsu’s wild plant collection which is planted around the hexagonal pavilion and  consists mainly of Orchids.Dr. Yamamoto Yoshimatsu worked in Taiwan since 1928 as a professor in the Imperial Taihoku University; he spent his entire career researching Taiwan’s plant life. After retrocession, in 1945, he still continued to work in Taiwan as a professor in Taiwan National University. Dr. Yamamoto died from a Scrub Typhus infection in 1947 while working in the Lanyu natural resource research team. The pavilion has been restored several times and is a fitting tribute to the work of this great scientist and researcher of Taiwan plant life.
