A collection of 267 late-eighteenth-century miniature botanical illustrations, painted in Perthshire, Scotland, by Lady Charlotte Murray (1754–1808) is described. The drawings are arranged according to the Sexual System of Linnaeus in a specially adapted box. The scientific and social context of the collection is discussed, including the role the cards may have played in relation to a botanical card game housed in a companion box of educational games also created by Lady Charlotte. Her place in the history of the discovery of the Scottish Highland flora is discussed, as is her influence on the botanical activities of her nieces Lady Charlotte Menzies and Lady Amelia Drummond.
