He lived in, and was an honorary citizen of, Valeyres-sous-Rances in the canton of Vaud. From 1885 to 1909, he was a Liberal member of the Grand Council of Vaud. He died on 18 November 1914 at Chambésy. The standard author abbreviation Barbey is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. (en)
