Summary
Although tree tabacco (Nicotiana glauca – Solanaceae) is probably native to Argentina, at present this shrub can also be found in Southern Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, as well as in other temperate regions throughout the Word. The decoction of the leaves is topically used amongst several ethnic groups in Northwestern Argentina in the treatment of several ailments. However, the toxicity of this plant due to the presence of the alkaloid anabasin has limited its oral use, although some pharmacological studies have shown that the extracts possess antimycotic and anti- inflammatory activities.
