Henricus (Harrie) Johannes Maria Sipman (born 1945) is a retired Dutch lichenologist who specialised in tropical and subtropical lichens and authored or co-authored over 250 scientific publications. He was the curator of the lichen herbarium at the Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum from 1983 until his retirement in 2010. Between 1990 and 1997 he edited and distributed the exsiccata Lichenotheca Latinoamericana a museo botanico Berolinensi edita.




Academia


Sipman was born in 1945 in Sittard, Netherlands. He attended Utrecht University, where he studied botany. He was appointed to the Herbarium and the Institute for Systematic Botany from 1972 to 1982, where his focus was on lichenology and bryology. During this time, some of his research publications dealt with taxa from the lichen genera Cladonia and Stereocaulon, and on the Musci Anisothecium staphylinum, Campylopus and Ephemerum. His supervisor was Robbert Gradstein (nl). He earned his PhD in 1983 after defending a thesis on the family Megalosporaceae, later published as a monograph in the Bibliotheca Lichenologica series. Afterwards he started a long career as curator of lichens in the Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum. Frequent collaborators include André Aptroot, Teuvo Ahti, Paul Diederich, Mark Seaward, Emmanuël Sérusiaux and Richard Harris. Many of his publications deal with lichen floras of tropical and subtropical countries such as Colombia, Costa Rica, Guiana and New Guinea.




Recognition


A Festschrift was dedicated to his honour in 2009, on the occasion of his 64th birthday and impending retirement. The volume includes 29 peer-reviewed contributions of various aspects of lichenology written by 50 of his colleagues. It also has a biography, a list of his scientific publications and a list of new taxa he introduced (9 genera and 213 species).
