Huberia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Melastomataceae.

[1][3][4] Most are shrubs, the leaves are opposite (arranged), petiolate (has a leaf stalk) and are serrated.

The receptacle (the axis of a flower) is urceolate (shaped like an urn or pitcher) or lageniform (flask-shaped) and narrowed to the neck, sometimes costate alate (ribbed like a wing).

The seeds are sometimes imbricate (tiled and overlapping), produced on both sides to an elongated wing.

[6] Augustin Pyramus de Candolle was a close friend of Huber and wrote a biographer of him in 1832.
