          The N. Am. [North American] Psoraleas ought all, no doubt, to form a separate 
subgenus from those of Europe & the Cape G. H. [of Good Hope].

Pitcheria has an entirely different habit from all the 
Rhynchorias I have seen. It seems nearer to [Tephrosia?]

Amorpha californica will do.

Most of my new plants are more or less cursorily described 
wh. [which] I gave in Fraser's Catal. [Catalogue]. They were at the time much 
better known (actually exciting for inspection) than any thing 
in Muhlenberg's Cat. [Catalogue] wh. [which] is so carefully published as 
authority. Pursh "the [Cossack?]" when he altered the 
names, or published my specimens (given gratuitously 
to Lambert for his herbarium) knew my plants 
exactly [added: & that I intended to publish them also.] So I do not think it worth while to stand 
on so much ceremony with him. The Kew Catalogue 
itself, as far as it goes, is not better authority for 
my own plants sent to sell by that rogue Fraser 
(who never accounted to me yet!) than my own catalogue 
of my own [terms?] plants.
