Özet:

 


Walter Siehe (1859-1928) was a German engineer with a passion for
plants, engaged in Adana in the construction of Anatolian Baghdad Railway. He
purchased land in 1897 at Fındıkpınar (İçel), where he stayed about 25 years.
He mainly planted fruit trees in his garden. He made excursions nearly every
year in the regions of Adana, İçel, Konya, Niğde, Kayseri, Sivas and collected
plant specimens which he sent to European herbaria. He especially gathered
bulbous plants and exported them to European growers. The Flora of Turkey
project has examined his Anatolian collection. In the Flora are cited 740
specimens of Siehe, where the great majority bear date and number in their
citations. The earliest specimen is dated 1889 and the latest 1919. Basing on specimen numbers, the collection of Siehe from Anatolia may be
approximatively evaluated to not less than 8000 specimens. They are distributed
in 29 herbaria, one in U.S.A., one in Ankara (Turkey), the others in Europe.
According to Flora of Turkey, Siehe has collected the type specimens of 66 new
taxa. They come from the provinces of Adana, İçel, Niğde, Konya and Kayseri.
Three of them were published by himself. In the naming of 14, he is a coauthor. 10 taxa bear his name as epithet. He has published at least 22 articles
related to Turkish bulbs and trees between 1897 and 1929.
