Career
After getting his PhD from Göttingen University he had a teaching positions at Johns Hopkins University (1891-1895) where he was director of the herbarium. From 1896 to 1900 he worked in Java. Then he taught at Leiden University (1904-1909), as a lecturer in Systematic Botany. He became director of the State Herbarium (Rijksherbarium) 1906–1909, then Secretary of the Hollandsche Maatschappij van Wetenschappen.
He founded the Association internationale des Botanistes and was editor of the Botanisches Centralblatt. He proposed a system of plant classification, based on phylogenetics. Lotsy argued for a major role of hybridization in evolution.[1][2]
Expeditions
India (1895-1900), the United States (1922), Australia and New Zealand (1925), South Africa (1926-27), and Egypt (1930). He also studied the flora of Italy and Switzerland.

System
Lotsy argued that the monocotyledons were diphyletic, with the Spadiciflorae being derived from the dicotyledons (specifically Piperales) and the remainder from a hypothetical ancestor, the Proranales. Hutchinson, who argued for a monophyletic origin, considered this improbable.[3]

gollark: I like how you're helping to create the instruments of your own demise.
gollark: ```>>> nltk.pos_tag(nltk.word_tokenize("LyricLy is widely considered bad"))[('LyricLy', 'NNP'), ('is', 'VBZ'), ('widely', 'RB'), ('considered', 'VBN'), ('bad', 'JJ')]```I actually have no idea what the tags mean.
gollark: Hmm, I must attain more NLTK data.
gollark: Yet again you ignore the power of GTech™.
