Note:
this study recovered a monophyletic genus, with five clades of unresolved affinities; clade "B" was distant from clade "A" that included those species probably involved in the origin of rhubarb;
Rheum spiciforme
(and also its synonyms
R. przewalskyi
,
R. rhizostachyum
, and
R. rhomboideum
) was included in clade "B"
