Peter Schousboe
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.[2]
gollark: Sure, I guess.

gollark: No clue.
gollark: e.g.```haskellfunction a b = a + b-- expands tofunction = \a -> \b -> a + b````function 1` returns a function with 1 "captured" in a closure or whatever, which will then take the next argument and finally evaluate itself.
gollark: Multiparameter functions actually just return a function which takes another value when fed an argument.
