A wild tobacco, also
known as Sacred Tobacco, it originated in Mexico but was widely cultivated throughout North America
by native peoples for ceremonial purposes. According to
J. B. Killebrew,
"Turkish, Hungarian, and Latakia tobacco is probably of this
species."
The plants reach about three feet in height,
are
vigorous and fairly hardy. The abundant yellow blossoms bloom all day
and make it an interesting garden annual.
Cultivated worldwide for smoking and
nicotine production. Potency is high and has been said to have been
used as an arrow poison in Mexico. |
