Nicotiana langsdorffii, Langsdorff's tobacco,[1] is a species of the Nicotiana genus (tobacco). It is an annual plant with large leaves (up to 10 inches long) with tall 2 inch nodding long tubular bell shaped flowers that are apple green in colour, with blue anthers. N. langsdorfii lacks fragrance unlike some of the other tall species. It is grown as an ornamental garden plant.[2]
Etymology
The species name langsdorffii is in honour of G. I. Langsdorff, who was the Russian Consul in Rio de Janeiro. Langsdorf was responsible for an expedition to explore the interior of Brazil in the 1820s.[2]
