At the age of twenty-two he joined the Dutch East Indies Forest Service in Java, and by 1892 was curator at the Herbarium Bogoriense in Bogor, Java, where he was personally responsible for the acquisition of 40,000 specimens. In 1912 he founded the Dutch East Indies Association for Nature Protection. The separate volume of illustrations, published twenty-five years later in 1937, is not present here.
