Alfred Huet du Pavillon

Alfred Huet du Pavillon (January 1829, in Blain, Loire-Atlantique – 1907, in Frohsdorf) was a French botanist. His brother, Édouard Huet du Pavillon (1819-1908), with whom he often collaborated, was also a botanist.

He spent his childhood in Switzerland and later studying under botanist Alphonse de Candolle. From 1852 to 1856, he served as the curator of de Candolle's herbarium.[http://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/187059.html Georg-August-Universität Göttingen - H] Fakultät für Biologie und Psychologie, Albrecht-von-Haller-Institut für Pflanzenwissenschafte In the 1850s, he embarked on a series of botanical expeditions to the Pyrénées, Armenia, Italy (including Sicily) and Sardinia. In Italy and Sicily, he was accompanied by his brother, Édouard Huet du Pavillon.[https://books.google.com/books?id=_7sXAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA181 Bulletin de l'Académie internationale de géographie botanique, Volume 18] by Académie internationale de géographie botanique

Together, the Huet brothers amassed an impressive herbarium and issued at least some widely distributed series of exsiccatae, among others in 1856 Plantae Neapolitanae and Plantae Siculae 1856.Triebel, D. & Scholz, P. 2001–2025 IndExs – Index of Exsiccatae.
