Franklinia alatamaha - John and William Bartram discovered a small grove of this tree in October 1765 by Georgia's Altamaha River.
After several years of study, William Bartram assigned the “rare and elegant flowering shrub,” to a new genus Franklinia, named in honor of his father's great friend Benjamin Franklin.
