Rheum nobile Hook.f. & Thoms. is one of the most attractive, striking and distinct looking plant, found in high Himalayan region from Nepal onwards up to Arunachal Pradesh. The large, bladder-like, drooping and overlapping cream coloured bracts of R. nobile apart from enhancing the beauty of the plant, also keep the reproductive organs warm to ensure pollination and development of seeds in the cold Himalayan environment.
