Léon Humblot (1852–1914) was a French naturalist and botanical collector. In 1884 he entered the Comoros Islands as part of a geographical survey conducted by the ''Muséum national d'histoire naturelle''. In 1885 he procured the signature of a treaty with the Sultan of Bambao, thus establishing a basis for a "Grande Comore protectorate". During the following year, the French had overall rule of the Comoros (Grande Comore, Anjouan, Mayotte and Moheli islands).〔(JSTOR Global Plants ) Humblot, Léon (1852–1914)〕 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.〔 While stationed in the Comoros, he collected botanical specimens that were sent to naturalist Alfred Grandidier (1836–1921). The herbarium of the ''Muséum national d'histoire naturelle'' in Paris also received numerous items from Humblot (including 1300 vascular plant specimens). During his career, Humblot also collected ornithological and entomological specimens.〔 == Publications associated with Léon Humblot == * "66 phot. des Comores, de Nossi-Bé et de Madagascar, avec des portraits de Said Ali, sultan de la Grande Comore, et de ses ministres, de son frére Mohammed Ali, d'un autre frére, Mohammed Sidi, du général en chef, du premier ministre, de la femme légitime, de princesses de la Grande Comore, de Léon Humblot, résident français dans cette île, du prince Said Omar de Mayotte.
