FART III,
Group xxv. Miscellanea B.
Kinds of S dlix introduced, and of many of which there are Plants at Messrs.Loddiges’s, but which we have not been able to refer to any of the precedingGroups.
Several of the names in this group are Schleicher’s, Koch’s estimate of which we have alreadygiven in p. 1486. Many of the others are probably of kinds described as belonging to preceding groups'•because, when the salicturn at Woburn was planted, the entire collection of Messrs. Loddiges, as itexisted in 1827, was included. We have, however, given the names and descriptions below, thatnothing might be wanting to render our article on Salix as complete as the nature of the recordedinformation on that genus will admit. ,
