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]]. *Ref*.: IH 2: 100. - Candolle, Phytographie 400. 1880. - Granel de Solignac, L. et L.
