However, he, together with John Scott Simpson, became interested in collecting and growing New Zealand native plants and by 1925 both were well known within the New Zealand botanical community.[1]
In 1930 he was elected a fellow of the Linnean Society,[3] In 1945, he published his monograph on Carmichaelia.[4] In 1949 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand, FRSNZ.[1][3]
