Galfrid Clement Keyworth "Stalky" Dunsterville (1905 - 1988) was a petroleum technician by profession and a naturalist and explorer by avocation with an immense passion for orchideology. Dunsterville was a technician at the Shell oil company in Venezuela, which afforded him the opportunity to pursue his interest in orchids through extensive travels in Venezuela in search of 1,200 species of orchids.
