'''''Nicotiana glauca''''' is sometimes referred to as '''Mustard Tree''' or '''Brazilian Tree Tobacco''' or simply '''Tree [[Tobacco]]'''. Its leaves are attached to the stalk by petioles (many other ''Nicotiana'' species have sessile leaves), and its leaves and stems are neither [[pubescent]] nor sticky like ''[[Nicotiana tabacum]]''. It grows to heights of more than 6' (2m).
Originally from [[Bolivia]] and [[Argentinia]], tree tobacco has [[naturalized]] in the southwestern United States, becoming a common weed. This plant is used as a [[medicinal plant]].
