'''''Nicotiana''''' ({{pron-en|ˌnɪkɵʃiˈeɪnə}})<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> is a [[genus]] of [[Herbaceous plant|herbs]] and [[shrub]]s of the [[Solanum|nightshade]] [[family (biology)|family]] ([[Solanaceae]]) indigenous to [[North America|North]] and [[South America]], [[Australia]], south west [[Africa]] and the [[Oceania|South Pacific]]. Various ''Nicotiana'' [[species]], commonly referred to as '''tobacco plants''', are cultivated and grown to produce [[tobacco]]. Of all ''Nicotiana'' species, [[Cultivated Tobacco]] (''N. tabacum'') is the most widely planted and is grown worldwide for production of tobacco leaf for [[cigarette]]s. The genus is named in honor of [[Jean Nicot]], who in 1561 was the first to present tobacco to the French royal court.
Many species of ''Nicotiana'' are grown as [[ornamental plant]]s. They are popular [[vespertine (biology)|vespertine]]s, their sweet-smelling flowers opening in the evening to be visited by [[Sphingidae|hawkmoths]] and other [[pollinator]]s.
