Bouché was a member of a prominent family of botanists and gardeners. His grandfather, Jean David Bouché (1747–1819), a Berlin nurseryman of French origin, installed glasshouses which became popular with the Prussian nobility. His uncle, Peter Friedrich Bouché (1785–1856), and father Peter Karl Bouché (1783–1856) continued the business. Peter Karl was also a student of Carl Ludwig Willdenow.^[1]

The standard author abbreviation C.D.Bouché is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.^[3]
