PTEROSTYRAX HISPIDUM. 
The leaves of this hardy shrub are as large as those of a deciduous Magnolia ; it gives in spring large 
bunches of white flowers. 3s. 6d. 
RHEUM OPPIOINALE. 
Very much interest attaches to this plant, as being the ascertained source whence is derived the true 
Turkey rhubarb. Ji, officinale, which inhabits and is cultivated in Thibet and Western China, is a 
very distinct and well marked plant, of ornamental character. It is a perennial producing shallowly three- 
lobed to seven-lobed leaves, and flowering stems four feet to ten feet high, branching ifi a paniculate 
manner, the branches spreading, and so densely packed with the greenish flowers as to appear spiciform. 
2s. 6d. and 3s. 6d. 
RHEUM PAIiMATUM TANGHUTIOUM. 
A stately robust-habited perennial, which shares with R. offiicinale 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 bo 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 gi'een 
flowers, the branches of which are erect, and much less densely packed than those of R. officinale. 
Irrespective of the interest attaching to these plants as yielding officinal drugs, they arc stately objects 
amongst the larger herbaceous perennials. 2s. 6(i. and 3s. fid.
