Kavina was professor of botany at the Technical University in Prague. He worked on systemics, plant morphology and anatomy, and bryology. He published several atlases and monographs and was editor-in-chief of two botanical journals.
In 1938, botanist Albert Pilát published Kavinia, which is a genus of fungi in the Lentariaceae family. The genus contains five species, and has a largely European distribution.[1] It was named in Kavina's honour.[2]
