Hitherto unpublished parts of the history of the Icones … Florae Danicae (1761–1883), one of the largest illustrated botanical works published, are analysed; it covered the entire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.

This body of work was welcomed by the mycological and botanical communities of his time: Fungi students and associates aided Fries and after his passing carried forward his taxonomic ideas. His legacy Systema mycologicum spawned a line of Swedish and Danish mycologists intent on perpetuating the Fries tradition: Hampus Taxonomy von Post, Lars Romell, Seth Lundell and John Axel Nannfeldt in Sweden; Emil Rostrup, Severin Petersen Uppsala and Jakob Lange in Denmark. Volumes of color paintings and several exsiccati, most notably one edited by Lundell and Nannfeldt attached fungal portraits and preserved specimens (and often photographs) to Fries names.

  • Royal Copenhagen
    20 19 1 CATALOGUE — 2019 1 bl ue For more than 240 years, the universe of blue has encapsulated Royal Copenhagen. It lives in ration, proud craftsmanship, and treasures from the past. Leaving marks of memories in the the cobalt blue depths of the hand-painted decorations, floating as calm seas across porcelain sand, passing on stories of heritage. Pulling on history as they are drawn back into the sea, surfaces. And it lives in the three waves marked on every piece of porcelain; an ocean of blue bringing the future with them as they return. The colour of the waves is the deepest of blue, that surrounds us, defines us, and connects us, and that tells tales of legacy, nationality, and embracing mind and soul as it takes you on a journey to the calmness of the oceans. A journey authenticity. The waves carry stories from far away, whispering legacy fables of cultural inspi- to stories reflected in blue. 2 3 Foreword by Lone Rahbek Ethnologist the sea As Danes, we are drawn towards the sea, as our feeling of happiness increases as we walk along the beach, swim in the cool waters, surf and sail the white-tipped waves, or enjoy the view of the sea. One might be led to believe that the geography of Denmark is the sole reason for the impact from the ocean on the happiness of the Danes. Our country is surrounded by the ocean – the Baltic Sea, the Kattegat, the Skagerrak, and the Northern Sea – and is made up of the peninsula Jutland and more than 1,400 islands connected by fer- ries, air routes, and many bridges, the latter of which are such a sub- stantial part of our identity that they are depicted on our banknotes.

LANGE Institut for Sporeplanter, University of Copenhagen, 0. Farimagsgade 2D, DK-1353 Copenhagen K, Denmark Summary. - From 1761-1840 "Flora Danica" published pictures of 228 agarics. Martin VAHL edited 50 of these, while the main part of the rest was edited by HORNEMANN, based on figures and descriptions by SCHUMACHER. From about 1815 HORNEMANN had intensive contacts with Elias FRIES who i. a. assisted in solving nomenclature questions. FRIES cited almost all the plates in "Flora Danica". Quite a few species are based mainly or totally on these figures and on the original figures of SCHUMACHER. The paper gives an account of species where FRIES accepted "Flora Danica" names or where Friesian names are based on "Flora Danica" figures. Introduction In classical works on mycology there will often be referred to illustrations in "Fl. Dan.", abbreviation for the monumental Danish iconography "Flora Danica". The citations provide guidance in the interpretation of the authors concept of the species in question. This holds especially true for the works of Elias FRIES. The intention of the present paper is to give some information about the pictures and the mycological authority behind them. The galant monarchies of the last half of the 18. century sup- ported biologists, who could edit illuminated books in folio.
