Native Tobacco
Nicotiana occidentalis
Nicotiana occidentalis, commonly known as native tobacco, is a short-lived herb endemic to Australia.
From the article Nicotiana occidentalis on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
It grows as an annual or short-lived perennial herb, from ten to 120 centimetres high, with white or pink flowers. It is densely covered in sticky hairs.
Range & habitat
It occurs throughout mid-latitude mainland Australia, but not in the tropical north, nor in the cooler, wetter, southwest and southeast corners. It thus occurs in every mainland state except Victoria. It grows in sand, clay and stony soils, on plains, along creeklines, and upon coastal limestone.
