Rudolphi, Johann Christian ”Pfarrer in R6*hrsdorf. ” 
Canaation and auricula specialist. Has been 
credited with authorship of ”Aurikel-flor,” two 
hefts of plates accompanied by a few papers on 
this flower, issued by Erbstein, Meissen, 1791- 
95, because he wrote an article in the 1st heft, 
Cf, Annalen der Botanick, 1:130-132 (1791), 
Beilage zur nelkentheorie, in einem briefe an einen 
freunde, Meissen, 1787. 1 plate, (Dochnahl, p,137) 
This may have some relation to the author’s 
"Nelkentheorie” of the same date, q,v,

Nelkentheorie, oder Eine in systematisober ordnung 
nach der natur gemalte nelken-tabelle, Meissen, Erb¬ 
stein, 1787, F°, (Pritzel, 1st ed,; Dochnahl, l,c,) 
Pritzel and Dochnahl give the same title for 
both editions, altho other citations vary con¬ 
siderably, Rudolphi himself, in Annalen der 
GA’rtnerey (1797), st,7, p,128, refers to this 
as his "Nelken-tabelle,” published at Meissen, 
1787, by Erbstein, saying the publisher in his 
list for 1796 had promised to get out smother 
ed,, correcting the errors of the first one. 
This ed, is cited in Ann. d, Gart, st.l,p,2C 
and st,2, p,5 (1795), as "Nelkentheorie."

Meissen, K, F, W, Erbstein, 1799, 20 p, 1 pi, F°,

The imprint and collation are from Pritzel, 
1st ed, Kayser, 4:565, gives Goedsche as pub¬ 
lisher, but Erbstein is given in Annalen der 
G&'rtnerey (1799), st.lO, p,77. In this review 
the added "abhandlung" is said to be one by Ru¬ 
dolphi reprinted from Ann, d, GAVt. (1797), st, 
5, p,l-8, with title: "Ein bewahrter vortheil 
viel und guten nelken-saamen zu erbauen,"
