After the time of Parkinson, it waslargely grown for the sake of producing the drug, and it is still grownin England to some extent for the same purpose, chiefly in theneighbourhood of Banbury; though it is doubtful ...whether any of thespecies now grown in England are the true species that has long producedTurkey Rhubarb.
