Flora Danica (lat. Danish flora) is the name of a botanical atlas that was started in 1753
by Christian Oeder, director of the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen. It took 122 years
until the entire flora of the Danish state was recorded in the manner of a herbarium - and
the extensive encyclopedia was completed. In 1790, the Danish Crown Prince and later King
Frederick VI ordered an extensive dinner service from the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in
Copenhagen, which was to bear not only the name but also the motifs of 'Flora Danica'. It
was intended as a gift for the Russian Tsarina Catherine II, who died in 1796, before the
service was completed in 1802. Thus deprived of its original purpose, the service was kept
by the Danish Court, where parts of it are still used for state banquets at Christiansborg
Castle.
