Tree Tobacco or Wild Tobacco (Nicotiana glauca, Graham). 



This plant belongs to South America, and is a tall, slender shrub or tree 

 of straggling habit, having large, grey-coloured, fleshy leaves and greenish- 

 yellow flowers. Being a very hardy plant it withstands dry conditions, and 

 is plentiful in most districts of the State, growing mainly along the banks of 

 creeks and rivers. 



It is poisonous to stock, but fortunately, however, is not very palatable, 

 though some animals acquire a morbid taste for it.
