G. C. K. Dunsterville

Galfrid Clement Keyworth "Stalky" Dunsterville (February 18, 1905 – November 26, 1988) was a business executive and a botanist who studied the orchids of Venezuela.

He was born in Devon to Lionel Dunsterville (who inspired the title character of Rudyard Kipling's Stalky & Co. and later became a major-general) and his wife, the former Margaret "Daisie" Keyworth.

[2] Dunsterville had never liked his given names, and when a co-worker and Kipling fan nicknamed him "Stalky", it stuck.

[2] In the early 1950s, he became interested in Venezuela's native orchids, initially as subjects for painting.

He made contact with the orchidologist Leslie A. Garay and after retirement devoted himself to orchids full-time, traveling around Venezuela with his wife to draw and collect them.
