Note:
this study recovered a monophyletic genus, with five clades of unresolved affinities; clade "A" includes the species probably involved in the origin of rhubarb:
Rheum palmatum
;
Rheum wittrockii
resolved sister to
R. nanum
in a well supported group

Note:
this study obtained a phylogeny supporting the monophyly of the genus, but poor resolution among studied species including
Rheum wittrockii
; this species clustered sister to
R. nanum
, but also in a poorly supported clade
