行政院衛生署自1975年起至1994年止委託中國醫藥大學甘偉松教授等，進行全省14個縣市藥用植物資源調查研究，1996年起委託中國醫藥大學謝文全教授再進行5縣市及蘭嶼地區之調查研究，對全省藥用植物資源分布做了深入之調查。衛生署中醫藥委員會於2000年委託謝文全教授彙整過去調查全省常見藥用植物1200種，分上、中、下三冊，出版「台灣常用藥用植物圖鑑」（Ⅰ-Ⅲ冊）。每種藥用植物簡列其名稱、學名、科名、別名、形態、產地、分佈、成分、藥理及效用等諸項，並附上植物彩色圖，對開發、推廣台灣藥用植物資源有很大之助益。
為促進國際交流並使國際人士更加認識台灣藥用植物資源，行政院衛生署中醫藥委員會特將「台灣常用藥用植物圖鑑Ⅰ-Ⅲ冊」之英文翻譯工作列為研究重點。
本計畫由植物學分類專家及中藥學者組成團隊，共同分擔植物形態及成分、藥理、效用之英譯工作，以兩年為期，第一年先完成第一冊之出版，第二年完成第二、三冊之英譯版出版，每冊各印刷500冊，期使國際人士能更加瞭解台灣之藥用植物資源。
