S. Corresp. Memb. of the Royal Institute of France, and Foreign Member of the Horticultural Society. Read July 19, 1831....
[From By Any Other Name, March 2020, p. 17:] He started his Indian career in the Danish colony of Serampore, where he became friendly with William Carey. In 1808 the British took Serampore and Wallich’s botanical talents were spotted by Roxburgh, who got him employed at the Botanic Garden. Wallich later became an EIC surgeon and would indirectly succeeded Roxburgh, permanently so from 1817. He continued to develop the Garden along the lines of Roxburgh’s scientific agenda, using it as a base for exploration of the flora of South and South East Asia....Between 1817 and 1828, in addition to the herbarium, Wallich amassed a collection of about 1200 drawings and when he went to London in 1828, took the drawings and herbarium with him
