Rheum officinale, Baill. Fig. 3375. Robust, with a short, branching st.
or crown 4-10 in. high: lvs. very large, 1-3 ft. across, round-oval,
more or less pointed or acuminate, hairy, 3-7-lobed, the lobes
extending one- third or one-half the depth of the blade and sharply
angled-notched: fl.-sts. 3-10 ft., much branched, bearing numerous
greenish fls. that give a feathery effect to the panicle: achenes red,
winged. Thibet and W. China, on high tablelands. B.M. 6135. R.H. 1874,
p. 95. Gn. 36, p. 243; 48, pp. 199, 208; 59, p. 282. G.C. 111.55:328.
G. 9:341; 18:428; 23, 452, 453.— Probably the best species of the genus
for general cultivation for ornament, making a striking foliage plant.
It is from the short thick branching st. or caudex of this plant that
most of the true officinal rhubarb is derived. Although known to the
Chinese for centuries and the product long imported into Europe, the
plant was not described botanically until 1872.
