Notes

1928 FU established as a herbarium of Department of Forestry, Faculty of Agriculture at Hakozaki Campus, 1947-2002 almost semi-closed, because of postwar turmoil and absence of botanical taxonomist. 2002 The Kyushu University Museum (established in 2000) started to support FU. 2003-2015 A lot of specimens left outside the storage were salvaged by The Kyushu University Museum. The salvaged specimens and FU specimens deposited after 1950 were moved to the university museum building at Hakozaki Campus. 2015 Yahara\'s collection partially moved to the university museum building at Hakozaki Campus. 2017 The Kyushu University Museum test-released a few partial database of the botanical specimens. 2018 FU specimens deposited before 1949 move to the new building of Faculty of Agriculture at new Ito Campus. 2018 All Kanehira\'s specimens were gathered at a new room.
