The precious Flora Danica porcelain was originally designed in 1790 as a gift for Catharina the Great and remains the ultimate present to this very day. And after Lord Nelson’s hard-worn victory in Denmark in the Battle of Copenhagen, he bought a Royal Copenhagen dinnerware set for his beloved Lady Hamilton. It has always been a sign of good diplomatic practice, and good taste to give fine porcelain as gifts. Even today, important celebrations within the Danish Royal Family are marked by a personal gift from Royal Copenhagen. In Denmark, the home of Royal Copenhagen, our porcelain is a feature on wish lists for birthdays, weddings and other special occasions. Royal Copenhagen is and has always been about giving more than is expected. About giving a gift of great quality and craftsmanship that conveys feelings of love, friendship, gratitude, desire and affection. About giving something to be cherished. The Royal Copenhagen gift is an entire experience; the distinct wrapping alone embodies elegance, luxury and the anticipation of something quite lovely, to be enjoyed, treasured and then passed on to future generations. When you give a piece of beautifully wrapped Royal Copenhagen porcelain, you become part of our ongoing tale…where the act of giving is a wonderful gesture, a loving thought and a wish for happiness.

Oeder’s conflict with Linnaeus and the implementation of taxonomic and nomenclatural ideas in the monumental Flora Danica project (1761–1883) I. Friis Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK–2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Hitherto unpublished parts of the history of the Icones … Florae Danicae (1761–1883), one of the largest illustrated botanical works published, are analysed; it covered the entire flora of the double monarchy of Denmark–Norway, Schleswig and Holstein and the North Atlantic dependencies. A study of the little noticed taxonomic and nomenclatural principles behind the Icones is presented. G.C. Oeder, founder of the project, approved the ideas of Buffon and Haller and rejected Linnaean binary nomenclature because of its lack of stability of genera. In the Icones …, Oeder cited all names used for each plant in chronological order, with the binary Linnaean name last, to which principle Linnaeus reacted. By the end of the 18th century, Linnaean nomenclature had become standard, apart from in Flora Danica and a very few other botanical works. Applying Linnaean nomenclature elsewhere, O.F. Müller, editor 1775–1782, and M. Vahl, editor 1787–1799, followed Oeder’s norm in the Icones. J.W. Hornemann, editor 1810–1840, followed Oeder in his first fascicles, but began experimenting with changes towards Linnaean nomenclature from 1810. After 1840, subsequent editors consistently applied Linnaean principles for accepted names and synonyms. Keywords. Accepted names, genera, natural classification, species, synonymy Introduction In his excellent monograph on how the Linnaean reforms gained general acceptance among botanists, Stafleu (1971: 260) specifically stated that he left out a discussion of C.G.

    Denmark–Norway, 1761–1769: Two Missed Opportunities?

    MEETING VENUS C. Sterken, P. P. Aspaas (Eds.) The Journal of Astronomical Data 19, 1, 2013 Denmark–Norway, 1761–1769: Two Missed Opportunities? Per Pippin Aspaas University Library of Tromsø, N-9037 Norway Abstract. Despite a promising start in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Denmark–Norway was not a Great Power of Astronomy any longer when the eight- eenth-century transits of Venus occurred. Official activity relating to the transit of 1761 was very limited; in this respect, Denmark–Norway was completely overshad- owed by Sweden and Russia. In 1769 steps were taken to invite an astronomer of international reputation, the Jesuit Father Maximilianus Hell. He arrived in 1768 and left the country two years later, having published an elaborate report in the name of the King Christian VII. Although Hell’s observations from Vardøhus were successful, Denmark–Norway failed to re-establish itself as a country capable of deliv- ering noteworthy contributions to the European community of astronomers. Sweden and Russia displayed a higher level of activity, both quantitatively and qualitatively, making the impression of Denmark–Norway’s lagging behind even stronger. 1. Introduction Throughout the eighteenth century, the northernmost part of Europe was divided between three powers: Denmark–Norway, Sweden, and Russia. They all encom- passed territories with very similar advantages as far as the transits of Venus were concerned. However, the history of Venus transit activity in the three countries men- tioned is far from uniform. Other contributions to these Proceedings analyze Venus transit activities in Sweden (Widmalm) and Russia (Bucher). There are also case studies on individual astronomers active in these parts (Pekonen, St´en & Aspaas, Voje Johansen, Kontler).

Martin Vahl (1749-1804) – den første norske botanikkprofessor. Blyttia 57: 53-60. Martin Vahl (1749-1804) – the first Norwegian professor of botany. This paper commemorates the 250th anniversary of the birth of the Norwegian botanist Martin Vahl, present- ing the known facts about his childhood and youth in Bergen, his study years in Copenhagen and Uppsala (with Linnaeus 1770-1774)) and his scientific activity, mainly as professor in Copenhagen(1786-1804). His main contribution is that of preparing and publishing several fascicles of the prestigious «Flora danica», comprising both flowering plants and cryptogams, particularly fungi and lichens, and describing plants from exotic regions of interest to the Danish Crown (West Indies, West Africa and India (Tranquebar)), altogether 1100 new species. He was also occupied with redescribing the original material of Linnaeus to clarify the numerous misunderstandings that he had seen during travels in Europe, as contemporary botanists mainly relied on the illustrations cited by Linnaeus. However, Vahl died before he had finished this task, leaving his main work, «Enumeratio Plantarum», unfinished. At his death he had a position among European botanists rather like that of his teacher Linnaeus. Per M. Jørgensen, Botanisk institutt, Universitetet i Bergen, Allégt. 41, N-5017 Bergen.
