Paul Ernst Emil Sintenis’ Iter Orientale 1888 – conspectus on his itinerary and herbarium collection

The aim of this study is to determine the itinerary of Sintenis in 1888, to identify the current names of the settlements on this route, and to compile a list of the plant collections. For this purpose, the records in the 42 herbaria housing the plant collections were examined, and a detailed analysis of more than two thousand sheets was conducted. Errors on the sheet labels were identified, samples with missing numbers or collection dates were interpreted, and suggestions were made.
