Henry Guernsey Hubbard

Henry Guernsey Hubbard (1850–1899) was an American horticulturist, botanist, and entomologist.
Henry Hubbard, first son of noted Michigan geologist, explorer and surveyor, Bela Hubbard, was born in Detroit, Michigan.
Trained at Harvard University, Hubbard worked closely with Hermann August Hagen, Karl Robert Osten-Sacken, and especially Eugene Amandus Schwarz, with whom he collected around the Lake Superior district. In 1877, he studied and collected termites in Jamaica. He next joined the Geological Survey of Kentucky in 1879, working on the fauna of caves. Between 1880 and 1889, he worked on horticultural pest insects in Florida, particularly those of the Orange tree. He wrote the Department of Agriculture "Report on Orange Insects" (1885). After collecting trips to Michigan, Montana, Utah, and Oregon, he accompanied Charles Valentine Riley on a collecting trip to the West Indies (1894).
In 1877 he designed and had built San Sui in Crescent City, Florida. The house is now known as the Hubbard House.
