K This is the first plant that vegetates in marl or limestone 

 rubble. The downy substance on the under surface of the leaves, 

 wrapped in a rag, dipped in a solution of saltpetre and dried in 

 the sun, makes the best tinder. The leaves are the basis of the 

 British herb tobacco. It may be destroyed by cutting off the crown 

 of the root in March.
