Initially an engraver, in 1835 he switched vocations and dedicated his time and energy towards botany.[3] Beginning in 1835 he worked as a curator of Augustin Pyramus de Candolle's herbarium, and from 1841 to 1849, he was curator of Pierre Edmond Boissier's herbarium. He also collaborated with Boissier on numerous projects that included various plant collection trips. From 1849 until his death, he was director of the botanical garden in Geneva.[4]
In 1838 the botanical genus Reutera was named in his honor by Boissier.[5]
