The periodical is named in honour of Johan Petter Norrlin (1842–1917), who belonged to the staff of the Department of Botany, University of Helsinki, from 1867 to 1903, first as an assistant and from 1879 onwards as Professor of Botany. Norrlin was a pioneer in plant geography in Finland, and is also well known for his work on lichens and on the taxonomy of the apomictic taxa of Hieracium and Pilosella.
