i  Possibly a reference to James Lee English botanist and nurseryman at the Vineyard at Hammersmith.
Reference quoted from Michigan State University Library: "Originally published in 1760, James Lee's (1715-1795) Introduction to Botany translated Carl Von Linne's (Linnaeus') ideas on the order and naming of plants based upon examination of their sexual organs and reproductive methods into English.  Linnaeus' ideas spread widely in England in the 1760's.  Lee was gardener at Syon House, a partner in a nursery in Hammersmith, had plant collectors in American and in South Africa and corresponded with Linnaeus.  He is the author of this and Rules for Collecting and Preserving Seeds from Botany Bay, c1787; he contributed to the Hortus Kewensis, v. 1, 1789 a catalog of plants at Kew Gardens."
