He had a varied career was in advertising, steel fabrication, geology in the Pilbara region, and the construction of below-ground swimming pools, before retiring in 1987 to focus full-time on his long-time interest in botany. In this he was ably assisted by his wife Pauline. Lowrie concentrated on the Australian carnivorous plants, being particularly interested in Drosera and Byblis. He named 90 species, including 66 of trigger plants (Stylidium) and the endemic (Levenhookia). His colleagues in this work included Kevin Kenneally, Neville Marchant and others. Lowrie was an accomplished artist, his illustrations often being included in his publications. His major publication was the 3-volume Carnivorous plants of Australia (1987-1998). In pursuit of his studies he made frequent botanical surveys across Australia and in Southeast Asian countries. He maintained connections with fellow enthusiasts across the world and was a member of the International Carnivorous Plant Society. Lowrie's personal herbarium of over 4,000 specimens was bequeathed to the Western Australian Herbarium. 2021 2021 Award - Lifetime Achievement Award (posthumous), International Carnivorous Plant Society Marchant, Neville Graeme (1939 - ) Western Australian Herbarium, Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (1929 - )
