He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1786, foundedthe LinneanSociety of London in 1788 (serving as its president until his death), and was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1792. He was a prolific writer on botany, his most notable contribution to the popularisation of the subject being the monumentalEnglish Botany(1790-1813), published and illustrated by Sowerby.
