			'''''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]].
