In 1819 he entered the service of the East India Company and was stationed at Madras. From there he made an extensive tour of the southern provinces of India, collecting and distributing among botanists a huge number of plants.

His desire, he wrote, was "to diffuse as quickly and as extensively as possible a knowledge of Indian plants"
