RHEUM PALMATUM TANGHUTIOUM. 
A stately robust-habited perennial, which shares with R. officiiwXc the reputation of furnishing the 
Turkish Rhubarb. Indeed, this is held by Dr. Regel, who has been instrumental in sending it to this 
country, to be the tnie officinal Rhubarb. The radical leaves arc deeply palmatilid, 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 much less densely packed than those of R. officinale. 2s.
