Group xxv. Miscelldnecc B. 

 Kinds of Sakx introduced, and of many of which ihcrc are Plants at Messrs. 

 Loddiges's, but which ice 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. I486. 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 

 ex tote din 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.
