| Nicotiana glauca |
Nicotiana glauca is sometimes referred to as "Brazillian Tree Tobacco". Its leaves are attached to the stalk by stems, and its texture is neither furry nor sticky like Nicotiana tabacum. It grows to heights of more than 6' (2m).
Tree tobacco has naturalized in the southwestern United States, becoming a common weed.
