Abstract: Holomorphic quaternion functions only admit affine functions; thus, the M"obius transformation for these functions, which we call quaternionic holomorphic transformation (QHT), only comprises similarity transformations. We determine a general group $mathsfX$ which has the group $mathsfG$ of QHT as a particular case. Furthermore, we observe that the M"obius group and the Heisenberg group may be obtained by making $mathsfX$ more symmetric. We provide matrix representations for the group $mathsfX$ and for its algebra $mathfrakx$. The Lie algebra is neither simple nor semi-simple, and so it is not classified among the classical Lie algebras. They prove that the group $mathsfG$ comprises $mathsfSU(2,mathbbC)$ rotations, dilations and translations. The only fixed point of the QHT is located at infinity, and the QHT does not admit a cross-ratio. Physical applications are addressed at the conclusion.
