Biography
Peder Kofod Anker Schousboe was born in Rønne, Denmark and died in Tangier, Morocco, having served as Danish consul general in Tangier from 1800 onwards. He conducted a botanical expedition in Spain and Morocco during the years 1791-93. In 1800, he published his major work Om Væxtriget i Marokko. Among the plants that he was the first to describe was the popular garden flower Salvia interrupta; the bushwillow genus Schousboea (now considered a synonym of Combretum) was named in his honour.{{cite web|url= https://runeberg.org/salmonsen/2/21/0064.html|title = Schousboe, Peder Kofod Anker|website= Salmonsens konversationsleksikon |access-date=May 1, 2020}} In 1883 the botanist Jean-Louis Kralik issued an exsiccata under the title Algae Schousboeanae distributing specimens collected by Schousboe.
