Mr. Lindley wrote the name of this Due du Telliers ; but Rogers says it " was 

 introduced into England by M. Dutilly Genardet, a Dutch merchant who settled 

 at Putney, in Surrey. From that gentleman it got into the possession of the senior 

 Mr. Hunt, who first established the nursery there, and who, with Grey of 'Fulham, 

 were both great assistants to Miller in bringing out his Dictionary."
