990. Nicotiana Ingulba

A new species of tobacco, Nicotiana ingulba, has been reclassified and described from plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Originally sourced from seeds collected in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia, this discovery sheds light on the region's unique flora. The study delves into its taxonomic history, ecological role, cytological characteristics, etymology, and cultivation requirements. By analyzing cultivated specimens and historical data, researchers have clarified its distinct identity within the Nicotiana genus, contributing to our understanding of biodiversity in arid Australian landscapes.
