Hendrina Hermina Scholten-Commelin (1 March 1843 - 24 November 1917) was a social worker and feminist. The only daughter of Johannes Commelin and Catharina Cornelia Ouwersloot, she married Casper Willem Reinhard Scholten (1839-1914) in Amsterdam on 15 March 1866. The couple had two children: Caspar Wilhelm "Willie" Reinhard (1867-1893) and N. N. Scholten (-). After Willie's death, she and her husband founded the Amsterdam Phytopathological Laboratory in their son's memory. Hendrina is a descendant of botanist Casparus Commelin, founder of the Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam.[1][2]
