Photographed at Medicinal Plants Nursery at Pothibasa in Uttarakhand, not sure whether R. australe or R. webbianum. The fruits resemble R. webbianum but are red in colour. Flowers were not present. Please help in deciding.
I guess R. australe looks more close! It should be Rheum webbianum as per keys and discussions at Rheum webbianum from Pothibasa, Uttarakhand-GS08012022-2 Yes …, my that post was a mix of two species, first two actually belonging to R. webbianum clicked between 14:54 and 14:55, third image with purple-red flowers clicked at 14:55 to 14:58. R. australe in high resolution I will upload separately. Maybe Rheum australe as per discussions at Rheum webbianum from Pothibasa, Uttarakhand-GS08012022-2 I guess you are right …! Also posted again as Rheum australe as at Rheum australes from Pothibasa, Uttarakhand-GS12012022-1 .

Rheum webbianum Royle is a tall robust herb in alpine zones of Uttarakhand. Known as ‘Archa” it is not common and restricted to rocky slopes often. The petioles are thick and sour which are boiled and grounded to make ‘chutney’ by herdsmen in alpine zones. It is one of the Himalayan Rhubarbs and underground rootstock is medicinal. Photographed in Nilkanth Valley near Badrinath, Uttarakhand. To me it looks more closer to Rheum australe Syn: R. emodi. This also looks like mine from the area, the red inflorescence bears fruits and not flowers. Perhaps … will be able to resolve. Please see the mail by … showing R.australe: It looks different from my plant.
Additionally, in R.australe rachis of inflorescence is densely pubescent (FoC) as also seen in above picture but not in my plant. It also looks me Rheum webbianum Red inflorescense is with fruits not flowers. I am sending the same images from chor. Maybe Rheum australe as per discussions at Rheum webbianum from Pothibasa, Uttarakhand-GS08012022-2 I guess you are right .
Earlier it was kept at Rheum australe as per your earlier post: Polygonaceae Fortnight: Rheum sp from Uttarakhand for Identification -GSMAY65 I am also confused as the keys do not give a clear idea.
Flora of Pakistan gives the following keys:
Flora of China gives the following keys:
Based on the above, it should be Rheum webbianum. Yes …, my that post was a mix of two species, first two actually belonging to R. webbianum clicked between 14:54 and 14:55, third image with purple-red flowers clicked at 14:55 to 14:58. R. australe in high resolution I will upload separately.
Here are focussed distinctly cordate leaves of image 2032 I think keys with regard to base of the leaf given in Flora of China may not be correct as Flora of China itself says leaf blade ovate-elliptic or broadly ovate, large, 20-50 × 18-40 cm, abaxially pilose, basal veins 5-7, base cordate, margin entire, sinuolate, apex obtuse. Also Flora of Pakistan supports it. I have doubts about the id after going through your images from Kashmir as the fruit perianth colour is whitish (although nothing has been mentioned about it in the efloras) and not purple red/ red (as mentioned in Flora of Pakistan and Flora of China) at Identified by … it with R.emodi. .
