Henrietta "Harriet" Sheppard, née Campbell (1786–1858) was a Canadian naturalist and botanist. She was noted for studying and publishing on birds, shells, and plants of the Quebec region.[1] Working with Anne Mary Perceval and Christian Ramsay (Lady Dalhousie) she collected plants of the region.[2][3][4] Along with Perceval, Ramsay, and Mary Brenton, she was a contributor to William Jackson Hooker’s Flora boreali-Americana (1829–1840).[5][6][7]
