He studied natural sciences at the University of Helsinki, later spending several years working as a secondary school teacher. In 1910 he obtained his PhD at Helsinki with a dissertation on ''Alchemilla vulgaris''. Afterwards, he served as first custodian at the botanical museum in Helsinki, where he remained until his retirement in 1941.〔(JSTOR Global Plants ) biography〕 Throughout his career, he collected and studied Fennoscandian flora that included subfossil specimens and bryophytes. He also made important contributions in his investigations of plants native to southern Europe and northern Africa; Spain, Sicily, Greece, Cyprus, Morocco, et al.
