Title:
A copy of a letter from John Ellis, Esq; F.R.S. to Dr. Linnæus, F.R.S. &c. with the figure and characters of that elegant American Evergreentree, called by the Gardiners the Loblolly-Bay, taken from blossoms blown near London, and shewing that it is not an Hibiscus, as Mr. Miller calls it; nor an Hypericum, as Dr. Linnæus supposes it; but an intire [sic] new genus, to which Mr. Ellis gives the name of Gordonia.
