Rheum nobile
« on: March 10, 2015, 12:18:57 PM »

I just thought I would share this interesting plant with you people - if you it's still unknown to you (I doubt it, haha). It grows at high altitudes and thus needs UV protection. Special translucent bracts that serve as a shield have developed as a consequence.

Here's the Wikipedia page. (I couldn't find a more detailed article about it, an article I remember reading on Science Daily a few years ago)
