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 likiangense
resolved at the base of this clade "A"

(Polygonaceae). Biochem. Syst. & Ecol. 39:651-659.
Note:
this study obtained a phylogeny supporting the monophyly of the genus, but poor resolution among studied species including
Rheum likiangense
, of which two samples did not group together
