Edward Stuart Cardinal Dyke (24 August 1872 – 21 January 1915) was a prominent naturalist, photographer, and botanical explorer in South Africa during the late 19th to early 20th century.〔Gunn, M. & Codd, L.E. Bot. Explor. S. Afr. (1981): 143;〕 He associated with the leading botanical lights of the day, including Rudolf Marloth,〔Rosenthal, Eric. "Southern African Dictionary of National Biography", pub: Frederick Warne, 1966〕 to whom he donated many specimens and many of the photographs that appeared in Marloth's monumental work, “The Flora of South Africa”.〔Marloth, Rudolf. “The Flora of South Africa” 1932 Pub. Cape Town: Darter Bros. London: Wheldon & Wesley.〕 Some plant species were named after him. As a young man he fought in the Second Boer War. In World War I he was one of the first to die in the campaign in South-West Africa. ==Career== Edward Dyke's father was a cashier in Cape Government Railways and in that respect Dyke followed in his father's footsteps; he was a railway employee most of his life. At first he was stationed at the Cape and later in the Transvaal. Possibly however, he merely used his salaried employment as means to more adventurous pursuits. Nearly all his spare time, he devoted to camping and mountaineering, and he had fought in the Second Boer War as a young man. Eventually, at the outbreak of the First World War, he enlisted as a Trooper in the Imperial Light Horse Regiment.
