He encountered many difficulties and dangers. Finally he explored 
Muscat and the island of Ormuz. He was compelled, by the state 
of his helath, to return to Shiraz, which he reached in very enfeebled 
condition. Thence he proceeded to Ispahan where he died in 1838. 
His extensive and valuable collections were sent to Paris and were 
soon dispersed over various public and private herbaria in France, 
Britain and elsewhere. All were made use of in Boissier’s Flora 
Orientalis.
