He continued to direct this institute until 1903.2 His collections, along with those of Carlos Werckle, Pablo Biolley, and Adolfo Tonduz, were among the first large plant collections to be made in Costa Rica, and are now preserved in the Herbario Nacional of the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica in San Jose.
