This was again shot from way to Hemkunt Sahib in Uttrakhand..
Please help to give id of this Rheum..
Is this again R. australe ??

Perhaps yes, thanks for sharing


Again very good closeups. and Thanks for sharing clear pictures of other parts esp. the leaves.


As the perianth is not dark purple, but pale yellowish, it should be Rheum webbianum as per keys and discussions at Rheum webbianum from Pothibasa, Uttarakhand-GS08012022-2


Going by the keys in Flora of Pakistan, it can not be Rheum webbianum Royle, being stemless.
These keys point out R. specifome along with R. moorcroftianum (not keyed here).
There seems to be a lot of confusion between the two as per keys and illustration in Flora of China.
But I will go for Rheum moorcroftianum Royle, based on the colour of anthers being purple-red as per Flora of China (and not yellow in R.speciforme as per Flora of China and GBIF specimen- one) and as per GBIF specimen- one and two.

Vof Week: 10092012 BS1 Rheum sp for id from way to HS:

Rheum sp for id from way to HS
can this be R spiciforme
pls validate/id

Another great find … Rheum spiciforme I hope


To me appears more closer to images at Rheum webbianum Royle rather than those at Rheum spiciforme

Location: Paddar valley district Kishtwar J&K.
Altitude: 4800 meters asl.

Can this plant also be Rheum spiciforme

Kindly have a look on the below link.
http://www.plantarium.ru/page/image/id/83756.html


It is Rheum moorcrofianum (Rheum moorcroftianum)


.



Rumex acetosa L.:

Location: Humla, Simikot,  Nepal
Altitude:  3300m.
Date: 10 June 1022

Habit : Wild 


I think Rheum moorcroftianum Royle rather than Rumex acetosa


Leaves are broad in R. moorcroftiana. Also looks some differences

Leaves are somewhat variable.

Check with the inflorescence.
