Benedictus Hubertus Danser (24 May 1891, Schiedam – 18 October 1943, Groningen), often abbreviated B. H. Danser, was a Dutch taxonomist and botanist. Danser specialised in the plant families Loranthaceae, Nepenthaceae, and Polygonaceae.
In 1928, Danser published an exhaustive revision of the genus Nepenthes, recognising 65 species in " The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies". While nowadays more than 140 species of Nepenthes are known, [1] Danser's work is still referenced by specialists in the field. [2]
Danser died in Groningen on 18 October 1943. The genus Dansera ( Fabaceae) and the species Nepenthes danseri ( Nepenthaceae), Rumex danseri ( Polygonaceae) and Taxillus danseriana ( Loranthaceae) are named after him.
