NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE HARDY PLANTS. 
RHEUM PALMATUM TANGHUTICUM. 
A stately robust-habited perennial, which shares with R. officinale the reputation of furnishing the 
Turkish Khubarb. Indeed this is held by Dr. Regel, who has been instrumental in sending it to this 
country, to be the true officinal Rhubarb. The radical leaves are deeply palmatifid, the lobes being 
acuminate and incised. The flowering stems are tall, terminating in a narrow panicle of pale green 
flowers, the branches of which are erect, and much less densely packed than those of E. officinale. 
Irrespective of the interest attaching to these plants as yielding officinal drugs, they are stately objects 
amongst the larger herbaceous perennials. 105. Qd. 
RHODODENDRON CAUCASICUM FLAVIDUM. 
This new and interesting addition to our hardy evergreen shrubs is very distinct from the ordinary 
typo of li. cav/xisicum with rose-coloured flowers, and long known in cultivation. In R. caiicasicu'm 
fiavidum the flowers are of a pale straw yellow, thickly spotted on the upper .segment with deep green 
dots. It is a native of the Caucasian mountains. Small plants, 75. 
KHODODENDBOKS, choice hybrids, cf sorts, to name, 35. 6c?., 6s. and 7s. Qd.
