Abstract
In autumn 1763, I received from Doctor Mounsey the seeds of the rheum palmatum, which he assured me were the seeds of the true rhubarb. I sowed them immediately in the open ground in the botanic garden. In the beginning of May last, one of the plants from these seeds pulled up a flowering stem, and about the middle of the month, the flowers began to open, and continued in great beauty till the 8th or 9th of JuneKeywords
