Mash up plant concepts (reference and names) with alt usages, here truncating the name strings just for illustration, and restricting the USDA 2015 (first 20 records):

       left(pu_sci.plantname, 20) as sci_name,
       left(pu_sca.plantname, 20) as sca_name
  from plantconcept pc join reference r using (reference_id)

  left join (select plantconcept_id, plantname
               from plantusage
