AB -Bunzo Hayata was the founding father of the study of the flora of Taiwan. From 1900 to 1921 Taiwan’s flora was the focus of his attention. During that time he named about 1600 new taxa of vascular plants from Taiwan. Three topics are presented in this paper: a biography of Bunzo Hayata; Hayata’s contributions to the flora of Taiwan; and the current status of Hayata’s new taxa. The second item includes five subitems: i) floristic studies of Taiwan before Hayata, ii) the first 10 years of Hayata’s study of the flora of Taiwan, iii) Taiwania, iv) the second 10 years, and v) Hayata’s works after the flora of Taiwan. The third item is the first step of the evaluation of Hayata’s contribution to the flora of Taiwan. New taxa in Icones Plantarum Formosanarum vol. 10 and the gymnosperms described by Hayata from Taiwan are exampled in this paper.
