He was elected a member of the Royal Academy of Science of Lisbon. Years later, he returned to Brazil and collected plants in the Rio de Janeiro/Minas provinces, which he sent to Vandelli for the Royal Museum. In 1799, he established the botanical garden for Vila Rica following the orders of the Prince Regent.
