Biography
United States botanist. Born in Salem, Oregon, Peter Lowry is curator and head of the Africa and Madagascar Department of the Missouri Botanical Garden, posted since 1987 to the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. He studied botany at the University of Illinois, Urbana, and Washington University, St Louis, receiving his PhD from the latter in 1986 for his systematic study of Delarbrea, Myodocarpus and Pseudosciadium, three genera of Araliaceae endemic to or centered in New Caledonia. To date he has collected more than 6,800 numbers, which include many novelties, and published more than 100 papers as sole or co-author as well as two volumes entitled the Fundamentals of Biometeorology (with W.P. Lowry, 1999 and 2001).
He has participated in a wide range of inventory projects, mostly in Madagascar, New Caledonia, and, during the mid-to-late 1970s, in the western United States. The second major thrust of his collecting has been specifically on the family Araliaceae and accounts for most of the collecting in Australia, China, Fiji, France, Tahiti, Hawaii, New Zealand, Reunion Island, Seychelles, Taiwan, Tanzania, Vanuatu, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. He has made fewer collections in Latin America. In 1983 he attended an OTS course in tropical ecology that was held in Costa Rica, and he has also collected a few numbers in Mexico and Chile. He is a member of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists, the International Association for Plant Taxonomy, the Association for the Taxonomic Study of the Flora of Tropical Africa, the Society for Conservation Biology, and a fellow of the Willi Hennig Society and Société Française de Systématique.
