For #InternationalCarrotDay we found this image of a wild carrot from our collections. It is 1 of 15 pen and water colour drawings of Australian flowering plants, and thought to have been sent to the Linnean Society by Major Robert Ross.

Our offices will close from 12 pm today and reopen on January 2nd. Here's a festive Christmas treat from the domestic archives, sent to the Society in 1919. #christmas #christmascards #festive
