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.[1] 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.[2]
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.[3][4][5] In 1856, Pierre Edmond Boissier introduced the genus name Huetia in honor of the Huet brothers.[6][7]
