von Borbás was born into a poor family, so he started his studies at the grammar school in Eger only at the age of sixteen. He was greatly influenced by the gardener of the archbishop of Eger, Márton Vrabély a prominent Mátra researcher. He was admitted to the University of Pest in 1868, where in 1871 he became a teaching assistant in botany of Lajos Jurányi. From 1872 to 1902 he worked as a teacher at the main school in Budapest. He was inaugurated as a doctor of natures in 1874, in 1880 as a private university teacher, and in 1898 as an honorary extraordinary teacher. He worked for Alexander Braun in Berlin and Anton Kerner von Marilaun in Innsbruck both of which had a major impact on his taxonomic and phytogeographical work. He conducted numerous research trips in Hungary and beyond. From 1902 until his death, he was a leader professor of plant taxonomy at the University of Cluj-Napoca and then director of the Botanical Garden.
von Borbàs was a prolific researcher. Between 1870 and 1905, he published 874 papers. He described and named about 2,000 new plant forms, a significant portion of which are still valid today. For example, in 1882 he described the rare Hungarian tulip Tulipa hungarica and the Linum dolomiticum(hungarian name: Pilisi len) which lives exclusively in Hungary as a relict species.
His high professional standard is also shown by the fact that he recognized that the closest relative of the newly found plant species was a flax species in Greece, Linum elegans. In addition to many plant species, his admirers named the journal Borbásia after him. He used modern genealogical ideas in his taxonomic work. The largest of these is the rose monograph. It provided new ideas for understanding the origin of species, the development of plant communities, and solving other related issues. As a versatile, far-sighted, original, intuitive scientist, he was the best acquaintance of the Hungarian flora for forty years.
