Alfred Huet du Pavillon (January 1829, in Blain, Loire-Atlantique â 1907, in Frohsdorf) was a French botanist. His brother, ÃÂdouard 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. 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, ÃÂdouard Huet du Pavillon.
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. In 1856, Pierre Edmond Boissier introduced the genus name Huetia in honor of the Huet brothers.
