{{Inc| Nicotiana alata, Link & Otto (N. decurrens, Agardh). Herbaceous, perennial: st. erect, slender, 2-3}£ ft. tall, branching: Lvs. sessile, decurrent, oblong-spatulate to ovate- elliptic; apex obtuse, or acute to nearly acuminate; margin entire or distantly repand-dentate: fls. spreading in an open raceme; calyx hirsute, tubular, with 5 unequal subulate teeth; corolla villous, night-opening, fragrant; tube slender, yellowish green, 4-5 times longer than the calyx, swollen above; limb oblique, nearly 2 in. across, pale violet beneath, white within; lobes ovate, acute, often emarginate; stamens unequal, not exserted; style exserted: caps, oblong, shorter than the calyx. Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Gt. 1010. It is doubtful whether the species N. alata is in cult., the garden forms being the varieties. Var. persica, Comes (N. persica, Lindl.). Lower Lvs. subpetiolate, oblong-spatulate, base often subcordate, repand above, all somewhat clasping and auricled or decurrent: corolla-tube shorter, limb greenish yellow without, lobes slightly unequal, emarginate. Brazil.— Intro, into the U. S. as early as 1906. Not much cult. Var. grandiflora, Comes (N. affinis, T. Moore, under which name it is universally known in gardens). Fls. very large, and very sweet-scented; tube much dilated, limb yellowish without.—Known only in cult. An extremely popular plant, blooming freely throughout the season until killed by frost. On account of its slender habit, it should be planted in a place protected from strong winds. It is apparently perennial, but is treated as a half-hardy annual. It self-sows, and often maintains itself from year to year in the Middle States and the S. In the warmer parts of the S., the roots live over winter with a little protection. Fall-sown seedlings make excellent pot-plants in the winter, the fls. opening in the early evening and closing in the morning, and are very fragrant. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
