RHEUM OFFICINALE. 
V ery much interest attaches to this plant, as being the ascertained source whence is derived the tnie 
Turkey llhubarb. J{. 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 throe-lobed to 
seven-lobed leaves, and flowering stems four feet to ten feet high, branching in a ixauiculatc manner, 
the branches spreading and densely packed with greenish flowers. 2s. Gd. 
RHEUM PALMATUM TANQHUTICUM. 
A stately robust-habitod perennial, which shares with R. officiiuile the reputation of furnishing the 
Turkish Rhubarb. Indeed, this is held by Dr. Kegel, who has been instrumental in sending it to this 
country, to be the true oflicinal Rhubarb. The radical leaves are deeply palmatifid, the lobes being 
ecuminate 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 R. offiximU. 
irrespective of the interest attaching to these plants as yielding officinal drugs, they are stately objects 
iwiongst the larger herbaceous perennials. 2s. Gd.
