RHEUM NOBILE (only for information)

Rheum nobile, the Sikkim rhubarb or noble rhubarb is a giant herbaceous plant in Himalaya.It growing on open hillsides and rocky slopes at an altitude above 4000 m.This grows rather tall, upto 2 m or more. An individual R. nobile is a conical tower of delicate, straw-coloured, shining, translucent, regularly overlapping bracts; the higher ones have pink edges. Large, glossy, green radicleleaves and red petioles form a broad base to the plant. Turning up the bracts reveals membranous, fragile, pink stipules. After flowering, the stem lengthens and the bracts separate one from another, turning a coarse red-brown. As the fruit ripens, the bracts fall away, leaving a ragged-looking stem covered with panicles of deep brown pendulous fruits.The stems are pleasantly acidic, and they are consumed by the local people, who call the plant Chuka. The hollow of the stem contains a good deal of limpid water.

Xanthorrhoea australis

Xanthorrhoea australis, the grass tree, austral grasstree or blackboy, is an Australian plant. It is the most commonly seen species of the genus Xanthorrhoea. Its trunk can grow up to several metres tall and is often branched. The plant is very slow growing and trunks only start appearing after many years. The long, narrow leaves are crowded together at the tops of the trunks.Grass trees are often very long-lived with some estimated to be 350 to 450 years old.Indigenous Australians soaked the flowering spikes in water to produce a sweet drink. The soft, white leaf bases were eaten as well as the growing point of the stem. The flower spike exudes a resin which could be used as an adhesive in the manufacture of tools and the stem used for the lower portion of a spear.
