          Amaranthus. In Linn. spec. Ed. 2d [Linné's Species plantarum, 2nd edition], which I send you. I have
annotated with Ed. 1.

Polemonium reptans. Begins with Ed. 2. Roots on pl. [plant?] [grown?]
which I have seen (!) & in herb. Linn. [Herbarium Linnaeanum]!

Physalis viscosa. The earliest syn. [synonym] is Linn. Hort. Cliff. [Linné's Hortus Cliffortianus] which 
is from Buenos Ayres [Aires], as in Dillenius's plant, which is the
only syn. [synonym] he quotes. But in Ed. 1, Linn. puts
Virginia foremost, & the plant in his herb. is I suppose, ours.
It is doubtless the plant of the 2d Ed. where he gives a new
character. I would keep the name for the North
American species, unless some later author has applied it to
the South American, for P. pennsylvanica [Physalis pennsylvanica], the only
other N. American sp. [species] in the Sp. Pl. [Species plantarum] of the perennial division,
begins in the appendix to Ed. 2 (p. 1670) where it is fully described.
It is in Herb. Clayton!

P. pubescens [Physalis pubescens] is I suppose the name for the annual species.

Fraxinus juglandifolia. I find no trace of any such Linnaean
species. What is your authority for making it Linnean.
(Steudel has F. Fraxinus juglandifolia, Lam. [Lamarck] Do you wish me to
copy what Lam. says of it?)

Lindh. sp. orchid. [Lindheimer's Species Orchidaceae]. I have it not, & Greene has gone abroad.
I dare not send it to you, but I will consult it, if I can find
it in his library, and answer any queries you propose.

Stachys tenuifolia, Willd. [Willdenow]. Sp. 3. p. 100 [Species plantarum, t. 3 [Ed. 4]] (1800). I have no notes on it.
Willd. only says "S. verticillis 6-floris, foliis lanceolatis simpliciter
serratis glaberrimis. W."
Hab. [Habitat] in Pennsylvania. Ꝝ (v. s.) Similis S. palustri, Folia 
tenuissima quoad substentiam, iis Veronicae maritimae simillimis 
ut ovum ovo. W."
--------------------
By collating Muhl. Fl. Lancast. [Muhlenberg's Index Flora Lancastriensis], I find it comes from him.
He says Caule angulato ... infra retrosum hispido, supra glabro,
vertic. 3-6-floris, & so on, nothing more is characteristic.
Hab. [Habitatus] ad aquas, florit Julio-Oct. Differt a S.
hyssopifolia, Michx [Michaux]." (p. 428)

These are all the queries on your mem. [memoir]. except the etymological 
ones.
I find there is no authority in Herb. Linn. for Chironia campanulata
(Kalm) having come from Canada. I compared the specimen
with one in your herb. marked "Sabatia bracteata, Ell. [Sabatia brachiata Elliott], Middle Florida
Dr. Alexander" with which it well agrees.
