Harriette Biddulph was a prolific collector of botanical specimens of which she sent many to the Government Botanist of Victoria, Ferdinand Mueller. He named Hemigenia biddulphiana and Astrotriche biddulphiana in her honour. Biddulph died less than one month short of her 101st birthday and is buried at Springsure Cemetery in Queensland. The National Herbarium of Victoria holds over 400 of her specimens, as well as over 500 collected by her daughters Alice Caroline Biddulph (1873 – 1971) and Florence Frances Biddulph (1879 – 1964), sister Ellen Caroline Biddulph (1855 – 1917), and sister-in-law Ada Foot (1861 – 1901).
