Biography
Evgenii Petrovich Korovin was a Russian botanist specialising in the flora of Central Asia.
Korovin graduated from the University of Moscow in 1917 and in 1920 left for Tashkent, where he helped to found the Turkestan State University, later renamed the First Central Asian State University (now the National University of Uzbekistan). He was named professor in 1932 and from 1943-1952 served as director of the Institute of Botany and Zoology of the Uzbek Academy of Sciences (apart from a break of two years from 1948-1950).
Specialising in Central Asian floristics and systematics, Korovin compiled a geobotanical map of Central Asia and described its botanical regions. He described more than 100 species and eight genera of plants, especially focusing on the Apiaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Polygonaceae. In addition he was interested in the problems of agriculture on arid land, and Central Asian weeds. He was awarded the Komarov Prize in 1947, among other honours, and was a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
