1596 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART III. 



Group xxv. Miscellanea; B. 



Kinds of Salic introduced, and of many of ivhicli there are Plants at Messrs. 

 Loddiges's, but which we have not been able to refer to any of the preceding 

 Groups. 



Several of the names in this group are Schleicher's, Koch's estimate of which we have already 

 given in p. 1486. Many of the others are probably of kinds described as belonging to preceding groups ; 

 because, when the salictum at Woburn was planted, the entire collection of Messrs. Loddiges, as it 

 existed in 1827, was included. We have, however, given the names and descriptions below, that 

 nothing might be wanting to render our article on Salix as complete as the nature of the recorded 

 information on that genus will admit.

? 176. S. 2?ETU X LINA Host. The Birch-like Willow . 



Identification. Lodd. Cat, ed. 1836. 



Description, Sfc. This seems to belong to the group Cinerea;. There are living plants in the Hack- 

 ney arboretum, the leaves of which are too long and too narrow to bear much resemblance to those 

 of any kind of .Ktula ; so that the name probably refers to some other part of the plant.

Identification. Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836. 



Description, tyc. Leaves in form somewhat resembling those of an elm. Apparently belonging to
