German politician and botanist (1797-1867).
Johann Adam Philipp Hepp (26 October 1797, in Kaiserslautern – 5 February 1867, in Frankfurt am Main) was a German physician and lichenologist. He studied medicine at the University of Würzburg, and from 1826 worked as a doctor in Neustadt an der Haardt. Because of his activities during the German revolutionary period of 1848–49, he was forced to move to Switzerland, where he lived in exile for the rest of his life. In Switzerland, he devoted his time to lichenological research, and in 1857 started to publish an exsiccata work on European lichens titled Die Flechten Europas in getrockneten mik
