For some reason Townsend has queried the date and site; and note similar label on http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/330895/?image combined with the familiar but unidentifiable different handwriting

As has been previously suggested, the different handwriting may be Townsend's eg see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/325688/ which has both Woods and apparently Townsend labels. But Townsend wasn't born until 1822, 4 years earlier. Noticeably, Townsend's biography page has no handwriting samples
