Although Lewis and Clark had travelled this way previously, many of their specimens had been lost. Therefore the plants collected by Nuttall on this trip were unknown to science. The imminent war between England and America caused him to return to London via New Orleans. In London he spent time organising his large plant collection and discussing his experiences with other scientists.

From 1836 until 1841 Nuttall worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. During this time he made contributions to the Flora of North America being prepared by Asa Gray and John Torrey. The death of his uncle then required Nuttall to return to England, as to inherit the property he had to remain for six months a year in that country. Between 1842 and 1849 he published his North American Sylva: Trees not described by F. A. Michaux, which was the first book to include all the trees of North America.
