He travelled during 13 years from 1865 to 1878 in Sarawak, Brunei and other islands off present-day Indonesia, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea, collecting mostly zoological specimens and making research. He spent most of his time, however, in Indonesia, then the Dutch East Indies. After his return to Florence in 1878 he became Director of the Botanical Garden there, but resigned in the following year after conflicts with the administration. His botanical collection now forms part of the Museo di Storia Naturale di Firenze. His most famous work is ?Wanderings in the Great Forests of Borneo?, published in 1904. This list of the Fungi collected by him in Borneo is made by Vicenzo de Cesati (1806-83), a famous botanist from Milan known for the 35-volume ?Compendio della flora italiana?, which was published between 1868 and 1886. Theodor (Thore) Magnus Fries (1832-1913) was professor of botany at the University of Uppsala, the son of Elias Fries and the grandfather of Nils Fries. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 88416
