Hiltje Maas-van de Kamer

Hillegonda (Hiltje) Maas-van de Kamer (born 9 December 1941) is a botanist at the Institute of Systematic Botany at Utrecht University.

She is the wife of Professor Paul Maas and together they have published many papers.

She is the daughter of Catharina Braak and Jan Hendrik van de Kamer, who was a pharmacist and chemist at the TNO.

The Annonaceae and saprotrophic plants from the neotropics, such as the Burmanniaceae, are two major areas of research.

Maas has also worked with the genus Canna (Cannaceae) and has published floristic treatments of this group for Ecuador (Maas & Maas 1988),[1] and in 2008 released a complete revision of the genus, The Cannaceae of the World.
