Definition has misprint.

30. Guess about right ending of the French tale (5)
Misprint could be I.

25. Group of ten plants to become hot with temperature rising (4)
Misprint could be A. As in Tea plants.

Thanks.

30 Tile rather than Tale, it's worn...

[Neveracrossword]

25 A four-letter word for 'become hot', with one letter moving ('rising')

[JimF]

Re the first one, I bet you'll it soon.

[hankir]

Thanks Neveracrossword. (and JimF)

Did not know tile meant a hat.
I had the word for 25d nut thought it was a girl's name.
Should have looked up TCD.

I read the entire wiki. Did not find home base.
I wonder if it is going to be a lot of grid staring to find 23 cells.

"Did not know tile meant a hat."

You're obviously too young!

♫ Where did you get that hat, where did you get that tile? ♫

JimF:

I wasn't around in 1888.
My knowledge of all Western Music (Old or New) is very little.

In case,someone wants to check it out:

Hankir, Wiki took me straight to the destination.
PS Glad I could help.

[hankir]

Thanks NAC.
The A???_M?????? place has two Ks. So that's not it.
Send me your URL of wiki.

I typed in 'the unclued entry' and the first thing that came up (at the side) gave me most of the relevant info.

[hankir]

Thanks NAC.
I see 4, 9.
The other entity is 5, 6. That is 24. So 1 must be common to both.
I do not see the other one yet.

[Neveracrossword]

Hankir, you need more of a name than the general 5,6. It came up when I typed in the first part ( 4,9). It's in the grid where you'd expect it to be.

[hankir]

Thanks NAC.
Found it.
The first was clear but the second word had to be googled.

Done.

[Neveracrossword]

Glad I could help, Hankir. Glad you got it finished off.

I can find the name of the beast at the bottom, but it is not symmetrically placed. Is this what is required?

[jeffreywoodham]

It represents the shape.
