==Biography==
From 1836 to 1862 he performed extensive botanical research throughout the Middle East and northern Africa, in which he collected over 300,000 botanical specimens. Beginning in 1836, he accompanied geologist Joseph Russegger (1802–1863) on a scientific trip to Cilicia and Syria, afterwards journeying through Nubia and Sennar. Following the dissolution with Russegger's expedition, he remained in Egypt.〔(ADB: Kotschy, Theodor ) @ Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie〕 He later traveled to Kurdufan (1839), Cyprus, Syria, Mesopotamia and Kurdistan (1840–41);〔( In: Austrian Biographical Encyclopaedia 1815-1950 ) (ABL). Volume 4 Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna 1969, p.160〕 and during 1842–43 he undertook an expedition to Persia. Later he performed botanical investigations in Egypt, Palestine and Lebanon (1855); and also in Cyprus, Asia Minor and Kurdistan (1859). In 1862 he performed additional botanical research in Cyprus and Syria.
The plant genus ''Kotschya'' from the family Fabaceae is named in his honor.
His name is also associated with a species of lizard, "Kotschy’s gecko" (''Cyrtopodion kotschyi'' ).〔Beolens B, Watkins M, Grayson M. 2011. ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. ("Kotschy", p. 145).〕
