It was claimed by her contemporary J. E. Smith that it was Lady Anne who assisted James Lee in translating Linnaeus's Philosophia Botanica, the first work to explain the Linnaean classification to English readers. Lee published the book under his own name in 1760, and acknowledged Lady Anne anonymously in the preface. A few years later Lady Anne was introduced to the Danish entomologist Johan Christian Fabricius, one of Linnaeus's pupils. Later, Lady Anne is mentioned by James Lee in her letters to Linnaeus. In 1774, on the way out to Calcutta, Lady Anne visited the Cape of Good Hope where she met another of Linnaeus's pupils, Carl Peter Thunberg, a seasoned collector of South African plants.
