Pamplin wrote for the Magazine of Natural History, and became editor of The Phytologist, owned by John Hunneman. Pamplin married his daughter Caroline, and took over the magazine.[2][4] He distributed two exsiccata-like series, namely Flora Dalmatica and Vicinity of Adelaide 1846.[5]

Pamplin was also involved with the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt.[6]
