'''''Nicotiana glauca''''' is a species of [[Nicotiana|wild tobacco]] known by the common names '''tree tobacco''' and incorrectly also '''[[Salvadora persica|Mustard tree]]'''. Its leaves are attached to the stalk by [[Petiole (botany)|petioles]], and its leaves and stems are neither [[wiktionary:pubescent|pubescent]] nor sticky like ''[[Nicotiana tabacum]]''. It grows to heights of more than two meters.
Tree tobacco is native to South America but it is now widespread as an [[introduced species]] on other continents, and it is a common roadside weed in the [[southwestern United States]].

'''''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]].

Nicotiana glauca is a species of wild tobacco known by the common names tree tobacco and incorrectly also Mustard tree. Its leaves are attached to the stalk by petioles, and its leaves and stems are neither pubescent nor sticky like Nicotiana tabacum. It grows to heights of more than two meters.

Tree tobacco is native to South America but it is now widespread as an introduced species on other continents, and it is a common roadside weed in the southwestern United States.
