Reino Pott née Leendertz (2 January 1869 – 14 June 1965) was a Dutch-born South African botanist and chemist. She was the first woman to be appointed as a botanist in the civil service of the South African Republic, and greatly expanded the plant collection of the Transvaal Museum.[1] She later co-authored a list of over 3,000 species of flowering plants and ferns with Joseph Burtt Davy in 1912,[2] expanding it to over 4,000 in 1920.[3]
