Nicotiana sylvestris
Introduction
Nicotiana sylvestris is a plant native to South America, but sometimes grown in gardens for its coarse form and strongly scented flowers. The leaves are simple, with the blade partially surrounding the stem. Flowers are tubular, white, borne in large clusters above the foliage.
This plant is thought to be one of the parents of Nicotiana tabacum, the basis of most modern tobacco production. It is usually combined with Nicotiana Rustica to lower the strength of Nicotiana Rustica’s tobacco.
