This species of rhubarb is a perennial herb which resembles the common garden rhubarb but which is cultivated outside its native Tibet and China mainly for ornamental purposes. The conical rootstock, which is fleshy and yellow inside produces large, cordate, or almost orbicular, 7-lobed leaves on thick petioles that are from 12 to 18 inches long. A hollow flower stem, 5 to 10 feet hgih, also grows from the rootstock and is toped by a leafy panicle of greenish or whitish flowers.

However, prolonged use is not advisable, since rhubarb aggravates any tendency toward chronic constipation. Pregnant women and those nursing babies are also cautioned against using it.
