Plants from every corner of Sri Lanka can be found in the Gardens. The Gardens is linked to the evolution of Sri Lankan economy as the first imported rubber tree to Sri Lanka was first planted in the Gardens from the first imported seedlings of Brazilian rubber tree (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hevea brasiliensis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">planted in Asia.

The project of rubber plantation had been handed over to Muhandiram A. de Zoysa, the first curator of the Gardens. The British naturalists conducted experiments on rubber plantation in Ceylon due to the failure of rubber cultivation experiments in India. During experiments conducted in Ceylon, the British naturalists discovered that Ceylon had similar environmental conditions of Amazon. As the first rubber plants blossomed throughout the country in 1880, the seedlings were distributed and planted in different parts of the country, leading to a flourishing rubber plantation industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-59168\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Henarathgoda-Botanical-Gardens2-3-480x400.jpg\" alt=\"Henarathgoda Botanical Gardens \u2013 evolution of Sri Lankan economy By Arundathie Abeysinghe\" width=\"600\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Later, the Botanical Gardens had been developed as a botanical garden adding new plants and sections.
