Léon Joseph Henry Humblot (3 June 1852 in Nancy – 20 March 1914) was a French naturalist and botanical collector.
[1] In 1884 he entered the Comoros Islands as part of a geographical survey conducted by the natural history museum.
[2] On the island of Grande Comore, Humblot founded a colonial company that oversaw the operations of several farms, plantations and processing factories for spices and perfumes.
From 1889 to 1896, he held the title of Résident, being forced to relinquish the status in 1896 due to charges of corruption by the French government.
The herbarium of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris also received numerous items from Humblot (including 1300 vascular plant specimens).
