Rupert Huter

Rupert Huter (26 September 1834, Kals – 11 February 1919, Ried bei Sterzing) was an Austrian clergyman and botanist.

He studied theology in Brixen, afterwards working as an assistant priest in the town of Sankt Jakob in Defereggen.

From 1861 to 1881, he served as a curate in several Austrian communities, later being named an expositur in Jaufental.

[1] With Pietro Porta (1832–1923) and Giorgio Rigo (1841–1922), he participated in several botanical expeditions, including trips to Carnia / Friuli (1873), southern Italy (1874, 1875, 1877), Spain (1879) and the Balearic Islands (1885).
