### Author
Broussonet, Pierre Marie Auguste (1761-1807), French botanist and zoologist at Montpellier, collector in Morocco (1794-1975, 1797-1799), and the Canary Islands (1799-1803) later professor at the Montpellier medical school and director of its botanical garden.
**Abbreviated name**: *Brouss.* \[standard form in IPNI: *Brouss.*\]
#### Herbarium and types
at [[Collection MPU|MPU]]. Much Broussonet material from the Montpellier region went to A. P. de Candolle (now [[Collection G|G]]) for his revision of the *Flore française*. The Broussonet collections from the Canary Islands and from Mogador came to [[Collection MPU|MPU]] via the Bouchet-Doumenq herbarium; duplicates went e.g. to Willdenow ([[Collection B|B]]) and are further at [[Collection C|C]], [[Collection CGE|CGE]], [[Collection FI|FI]], [[Collection G|G]] and [[Collection MO|MO]].
