The botanical reserves are excavation hotspots at the Daemonheim Dig Site's Castle excavation site that players can excavate after reaching level 78 Archaeology. Three are located on the 1^st floor^[UK]2^nd floor^[US] in the north-western room.

The hotspots initially appear as volcanic ash, requiring uncovering to become usable. Uncovering the hotspots yields a one-time reward of 189.5 Archaeology experience.
