Summary Known publications of Huber & Co. (Hyères, France) are listed and their new plants identified as far as possible. The relationship between the nursery and other firms and botanists, particularly Ortgies and Roezl, is explored and names published by other firms also introducing new material, notably that of Roezl from the Americas, are discussed. Many plants are unidentifiable though Cucurbita argyrosperma Huber is the oldest name for C. mixta Pang., while Salvia camphorata Huber may well be an older name for S. apiana Jepson and there may have to be further changes in Cleome and Salvia. Astragalus marianus Huber is an earlier homonym of A. marianus (Rydb.) Barneby, which is here renamed A. piutensis Barneby & Mabb., and Hibiscus spinulosus Huber is an earlier homonym of H. spinulosus (W. V. Fitzg.) F. B. Wilson, which is here renamed H. fryxellii Mabb. There are changes in authority in currently used names in Campsidium and Tillandsia and over 70 additions to Index kewensis .
