Rolander was born to a simple family in Hälleberga, Småland, Sweden and studied at Uppsala University where he came under the influence of Linnaeus. In 1755, Rolander went to Surinam to study and collect plants, which he sent back to Sweden.

Rolander's work was used by Christen Friis Rottbøll as the basis of botanical publications later in the 18th century. Rolander also made extensive zoological observations, focusing on insects. While in Surinam, he traveled and collected extensively around Paramaribo at first and then up the Suriname River. Fearing for his health, the naturalist returned to Europe but was unable to return to Sweden until October 1756, nine mon ...
