Biography
Finnish botanist at the University of Turku. Reino Alava worked as a curator in the herbarium of the botany department and specialised in the phanerogams. Alava looked after Dr E.A. Vainio's lichen herbarium and worked to make the collection better understood and more accessible, publishing works on the collection from 1986 onwards in Publications from the Herbarium University of Turku. In the 1950s Alava was able to travel to California with a grant received from Lincoln Constance. Here he collected specimens and produced illustrations for Constance and his colleagues at the University of California in their work on the Umbelliferae. During 1974 Alava travelled from the northwest to the southwest of Iran on a botanical excursion and collected through the Zagross Mountains, being the first to gather specimens from Zanjan.
