During his tenure in Brazil he also participated in widespread plant collecting. While in Brazil, he also engaged in the exploring the relatively unexplored territory, today known Brasilia, Brazil's capital. In 1897 he returned to France and settled in Bordeaux, where he worked on his personal herbarium.
