Rheum officinale Bail.: S1, S5, S8, S11, S13, S14, S16, S17, S21, S24, S25, S26, S27, S28; Rheum palmatum L.: S2, S6, S7, S10, S18, S19, S23; Rheum tanguticum Maxim. ex Balf.: S3, S4, S9, S12, S15, S20, S22; All the rhubarb samples were examined to create a mean global chromatogram as the standard fingerprint, and the reference similarity index (RSI) of each chromatogram of rhubarb samples against the mean global chromatogram was calculated using the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM (version 2004). Group A includes sample S2, S7–S14, S16–S21, S23 and S27 (RSI ≥ 0.885; The RSI values of these samples are approximate or higher than 0.9); Group B includes sample S1, S3–S6, S15, S22, S24–S26 and S28 (RSI ≤ 0.84; The RSI values of most of these samples are far less than 0.9)
