Biography

[edit]

Born in the Dutch East Indies, Hans Nooteboom with his family returned in 1939 to the Netherlands, where he remained during WWII. After graduation from secondary school in Rotterdam, he studied biology at Leiden University. There he studied under van Steenis and Robert Hegnauer and graduated with MSc. After six years as a secondary school teacher, Nooteboom become a graduate student at Leiden University in Hegnauer's Laboratory of Experimental Plant Systematics. In 1975, Nooteboom graduated with a Ph.D. on Symplocaceae of the Old World. In 1976, he became a staff member of the Rijksherbarium, as successor to Johannes Hendrikus Kern (1903–1974). Nooteboom established an international reputation as a plant taxonomist.[1][2][3]

... he proposed circumscriptions for the genera Leptochilus (Polypodiaceae) and Davallia (Davalliaceae) before molecular studies confirmed the unity of these groups, and he happily lumped some 50-odd recognized species under Davallia repens, well ahead of molecular studies that demonstrate the intricate structure of this mainly apomictic complex ... His broad generic concept in Magnoliaceae, initially shocking to his peers, is another example where DNA analysis has proved him right.[1]

Nooteboom was an editor for Flora Malesiana from 1999 and had also done editorial work for Blumea and the Flora Malesiana Bulletin.[1] As a collector for the Rijksherbarium (merged in 1999 into the National Herbarium of the Netherlands), he has made trips to "Ambon, the Andaman Islands, Aru, Kalimantan (several times), Sumatra, Sabah, Sarawak, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Pakistan, China, The Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Ceylon and China".[1]

As member of the scientific committee of the foundation Keurhout and of the board of IUCN, the Netherlands he was part of missions evaluating forestry in Burma and Canada. Also he travelled to Australia, Cambodia, and Vietnam. He was secretary/ treasurer of the Netherlands foundation for international nature conservation, de van Tienhoven foundation.[4]

Nooteboom died in Leiden on 20 April 2022, at the age of 87.[5]
