Lowell F. Randolph, 85, of Cayuga Heights, one of the world's leading authorities on corn and irises, died at his home on Monday, May 26, 1980.
He was a retired professor of botany at Cornell University. After his retirement in 1962, Mr. Randolph continued his research activities by traveling abroad on several scientific missions.
He was a former president of the American Iris Society. He lectured in many parts of the world and, in 1970, received a special gold medal from the American Iris Society during its 50th anniversary celebration.
In 1963, he received a bronze medal from Internationale Gartenbaustellung, Hamburg, West Germany.
The cytogenetic study of corn was one of Mr. Randolph's principal research areas. He was recognized as the first person to induce greater numbers of chromosomes in corn, developing stabilized strains.
He is survived by his wife, Fannie R. Randolph of Ithaca;
a daughter, Elizabeth Jane DeMott of Herdon, Va.;
two sons,
Robert Fitz Randolph of Manlius and
