Nicotiana tabacum L.

Nicotiana Tabacum Linnaeus, Spec. Plant., 180, 1753.
Erect, glandular-pubescent herb, up to 1 or more m. tall. Leaves alternate, oval,
sessile, entire, obtuse or acutish. Flowers mostly 3-5 cm. long, pink or red, tubular, glandular-
pubescent, in terminal, paniculate clusters. Capsules many-seeded.
Sparingly cultivated about dwellings (9854). English name, tobacco;
native name, tabaka.
The petunia (Petunia hybrida Vilmorin) has been introduced and cultivated as an ornamental. The egg plant (Solanum melongena Linnaeus var.
esculentum Nees) and the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller) are sparingly
cultivated but do not grow well. Some potatoes (Solanum tuberosum
Linnaeus) are grown, but they form small tubers that do not reach maturity.
