Percival worked there from 1877 to 1884. Mrs T. A. Cotton, a member of the Spence family, endowed him with a scholarship. He matriculated on 13 October 1884 at St John's College, Cambridge. He graduated there with B.A. in 1887, M.A. in 1891, and Sc.D. in 1922. From 1894 to 1903 he was a professor of botany at the Agricultural College at Wye in Kent.

The Linnean Society elected him a Fellow in 1893 and a vice-president for 1926–1927. William Broadhurst Brierley was his successor in the professorship from which Percival retired in 1932.
