Harz and Delitzsch, shortly afterwards to Guatemala in charge of a coffee plantation ca. 1878-1908; in retirement at Karlsruhe from 1908; collected in Santo Domingo 1909-1910. **Abbreviated name**: *Türckh.* \[standard form in IPNI: *Türckh.*\] #### Herbarium and types [[Collection B|B]] (mainly destr.) and [[Collection US|US]] (through J. Donnell Smith).

Smith distributed a great number of Türckheim's Guatemala collections with printed labels (which formed the basis of his *Enum. pl. Guatem.* 1-8, 1889-1907) in eight series distributed among the major herbaria of the world from 1887 onward as *Plantae guatemalenses Tuerckheimianae* (sets at [[Collection B|B]], [[Collection GH|GH]], [[Collection K|K]], [[Collection NY|NY]], [[Collection P|P]], [[Collection US|US]]; see footnote Bot. Gaz. 12: 131. 1887). Türckheim sent also collections directly, e.g. bryophytes between 1885 and 1888. The Santo Domingo collections are described by I. Urban in his *Flora domingensis* in Symb. ant. vol. 8. T. also sent Orchids directly to R. Schlechter (also at [[Collection B|B]]). T.'s private herbarium went to [[Collection B|B]] after his death. – *Letters* to K.
