Thanks a lot, Chadwell ji. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "C CHADWELL" <[email protected]> Date: 4 Jan 2017 4:45 a.m. Subject: Rheum nobile - new to eFI To: "J.M. Garg" <[email protected]> Cc:
Having just posted links to 2 images of Pleurospermum amabile taken by Roger Nix it seems efficient also to post an image taken by him of Rheum nobile, as this is also new to eFI. See: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rogernix/10857570836/in/album- 72157637673450755/ According to 'Flowers of the Himalaya' R.nobile is known from Eastern Nepal to SE Tibet on open slopes @ 3600-4500m. Another very striking and distinctive-looking plant, unlikely to be mistaken for anything else - *which makes a pleasant change!* *The stout stems bear a conical spike of large pale cream-coloured, rounded and bladder-like,* *drooping and overlapping bracts which conceal the short flower-clusters.* I will take a close look at the postings of other Rheums on eFI at some point. 'Flora of Bhutan' says rocky hillsides @ 4250-4600m.
