DeutschAlfred 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, later studying under botanist Alphonse de Candolle. From 1852 to 1856 he was curator of de Candolle's herbarium.[1] In the 1850s he took a series of botanical expeditions to the Pyrénées, Armenia, Italy (including Sicily) and Sardinia. In Italy and Sicily, he was accompanied by Édouard Huet du Pavillon.[2]
With his brother, he amassed an impressive herbarium, and issued numerous series of exsiccatae.[3] In 1856 Pierre Edmond Boissier introduced the genus name Huetia in honor of the Huet brothers.[4][5]
