His father was a physicianLua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. and, around 1790, he joined his brother Michael in Paris, where they both studied medicine.[4] From 1791, they attended courses given at Paris's Botanical Museum of Natural History. Their teachers included Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, and René Louiche Desfontaines;[4] Aimé further studied under Jean-Nicolas CorvisartLua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. and may have attended classes given by Pierre-Joseph Desault at the Hôtel-Dieu. During this period, Aimé also befriended his fellow student, Xavier Bichat.[citation needed]

Amid the turmoil of the French Revolution and Revolutionary Wars, Bonpland served as a surgeon in the French armyLua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. or navy.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Having befriended Alexander von Humboldt at Corvisart's house,Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. he joined him on a five-year journey to Tenerife and the Spanish colonial empire in the Americas,[5] traveling to what later became the independent states of Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Mexico, as well as the Orinoco and Amazon basins, with a last stop in the United States.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.[6] As part of the exploration, in 1802 he climbed the highest mountain in Ecuador, the extinct volcano Chimborazo, to a height of 19,286 feet, at the time a world record altitude for a Westerner.[7] During this trip, he collected and classified about 6,000 plants that were mostly unknown in Europe up to that time.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. His account of these findings was published as a series of volumes from 1808 to 1816 entitled Equatorial Plants (Template:Langx).Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Upon his return to Paris, Napoleon granted him a pension of 3000 francs per year in return for the many specimens he bestowed upon the Museum of Natural History.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. The Empress Josephine was very fond of him and installed him as superintendent over the gardens at Malmaison,Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. where many seeds he had brought from the Americas were cultivated.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. In 1813, he published his Description of the Rare Plants Cultivated at Malmaison and in Navarre (Script error: No such module "Lang".).Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. During this period, he also became acquainted with Gay-Lussac, Arago, and other eminent scientists and, after the abdication of Fontainebleau, vainly pleaded with Napoleon to retire to Venezuela.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. He was present at Josephine's deathbed.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

In 1816, he took various European plants to Buenos Aires, where he was elected professor of natural history.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. He soon left his post, however, to explore the interior of South America.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. In 1821, he established a colony at Santa Ana near the Paraná for the specific object of harvesting and selling yerba mate.[8] The colony was located in territory claimed by both Paraguay and Argentina; further, José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, dictator of Paraguay, "feared that Bonpland's success in cultivating mate would interfere with his own attempt to monopolize that business."[9] The Paraguayans therefore destroyed the colony on December 8, 1821, and Bonpland was arrested as a spy and detained at Santa Maria, Paraguay[10] until 1829.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.[11] During his captivity, he married and had several children.[12] He was given freedom of movement and acted as a physician for the local poorLua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. and the military garrison.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. At the same epoch, the Swiss naturalist Johann Rudolph Rengger also stayed in Paraguay: he was not allowed to cross the strictly guarded border, but was free to circulate pending the request of a special permit for each excursion.[13]

Bonpland was freed in 1829Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. and in 1831Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. returned to Argentina, where he settled at San Borja in Corrientes.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. There, aged 58, he married a local woman and made a living farming and trading in yerba mate.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.[14] In 1853, he returned to Santa Ana, where he cultivated the orange trees he had introduced.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. He received a 10 000-piastre estate from the Corrientes government in gratitude for his work in the province.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. The small town around it is now known as "Bonpland" in his honor.[15] A different small town in Misiones province just south of Santa Ana (Misiones) is also named Bonpland.

He died at age 84, at San Borja,Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Legacy

His collection of plant specimens deposited in Paris at the National Museum of Natural History, France was curated by Alicia Lourteig.[17]

Bonpland's biography was written by Adolphe Brunel.[18] A fictionalized account of his travels with Humboldt occurs in Daniel Kehlmann's Die Vermessung der Welt, translated by Carol Brown Janeway as Measuring the World: A Novel.

Bonpland Street in the upscale Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo Hollywood lies among streets named after Charles Darwin, Robert FitzRoy, and Alexander von Humboldt.[19] There is also a Bonpland Street in the city of Bahía Blanca, Argentina, in Caracas, Venezuela, and in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Many animals and plants are also named in his honor, including the plant genus Bonplandia, the willow Salix bonplandiana, the squid Grimalditeuthis bonplandi, and the orchid Ornithocephalus bonplandi.

The lunar crater Bonpland is named after him.[20] Also Pico Bonpland in the Venezuelan Andes is named to his honor, although he never visited the Venezuelan Andes.[21] Mount Bonpland 2,343 m (7,687 ft) in New Zealand also bears his name. The mountain is near the head of Lake Wakatipu in the South Island.[22]

The Bonpland Prize set up by the National Horticultural Society of France to promote the creation or restoration of pleasure gardens by amateur gardeners, was named after Aimé Bonpland.[23]
