Struggling to get going on the left and lower parts of grid. A help with 19d would be much appreciated. Can't even find the official abbreviation for Lambert - if that is what's required!

Lumen, 19d. is (5,3) and has 2 letters removed. Def is the last 4 words.

I think that one is pets (plural noun) with 2 letter 'work at' reversed inside, giving rare cedar trees.
Any thoughts on 10d?!

Struggling with 15ac & 10dn, pretty sure they're both misprinted defs, but I can't make sense of either :/

Ok, 15ac has now revealed itself, but the only fit I can think of for 10dn doesn't seem to fit any permutations of the clue

Not sure if 10d (and 27a) ends N or C?
Any steer on 25a? Then I can try to help with 10d.
