Biography
German pharmacist and botanist from Seidenberg, Niederschlesien who studied pharmacy in Breslau (1877-1879). He initially collected in the Dobrudscha area of Romania and Bulgaria (1872-1876) with his brother M.B.G. Sintenis, before collecting in Cyprus (1880) with G. Rigo and the Silesia region (1881-1887) with A. Toepffer. Sintenis collected in the Caribbean before turning attention to Asia Minor and perhaps his best-known series of expeditions partly made with J.F.N. Bornmüller. Over 5,000 specimens were acquired by BM including bryophytes, some of which were transferred from K after 1960 under the terms of the Morton Agreement.
