Rheum nobile or Sikkim rhubarb is a giant herbaceous plant, native to the Himalayas that grows at around 4000m – 4800m, quite often in inaccessible locations. With the height of about 1 – 2 m, they stand tall and handsome above all other herbs and shrubs in the screes, cliffs and alpine meadows . It is visible from miles away across the valleys when in flower in June and July. In Bhutan, it is known as Chuka Meto.
