Although not acknowledged in contemporary botanical publications, she wrote a number of letters resulting in botanist John Ellis writing to Carl Linnaeus of her work applying the Linnaean system of plant identification to American flora, for which Peter Collinson stated "she deserves to be celebrated". Colden was respected by many prominent botanists including John Bartram, Peter Collinson, Alexander Garden, and Carl Linnaeus. She is most famous for this manuscript, housed in the British Museum, in which she describes the flora of the Hudson Valley in the Newburgh region of New York state, including ink drawings of 340 different species.].
