Already available when the move to new building, died suddenly on March 11, 1933, to 58 years of age. In his will established the legacy of Darwinion the government of the nation, by decree 40581 of April 19, 1934, accept the donation establishing quote:
The Darwinion is intended solely for scientific research on botany under the direction and administration of the Academy of Sciences and natural.
After a period of three years during which the Academy held the transfer of collections to the new building and the organization of the Institute on December 28, 1936 opened here on an important event. Begins a second period when he was appointed the agronomist Arturo Burkart as director of the Institute and was supported by an active group of collaborators. Burkart brilliantly directed the Institute for nearly four decades. With great dedication gradually transform the laboratory in a particular Hicken Botanical Institute of International Importance. With its constant action will increase the herbarium through field trips and exchange of duplicates, so great is the library, increasing the building and simultaneously make a significant work of high-level taxonomic research, forming disciples inside and outside the Institute.
In 1970, with the clear vision of Dr. A. Bernard Houssay, president of the CONICET, who knew well the crucial importance of Darwinion for the future of botany argentina, an agreement was signed between the CONICET and the National Academy of Sciences, Physical and Natural whereby the CONICET began supporting Economy to Darwirnion.

It highlights the increase in microscopy equipment, which includes fotomicroscopios, stereoscopic magnifying glasses, a scanning electron microscopy, etc. and a significant expansion in the building, consisting of six cabinet work, specifically in 1993. Finally, it should highlight the successful work undertaken to maintain and enhance the bibliographic institution.

In these two years will increase the number of fellows and technicians.
