Tobacco taxonomy
Recent genetic evidence suggests the possibility that it is one of the parent species of the common domesticated tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), which was hybridized along with the species Nicotiana sylvestris, and Nicotiana tomentosiformis.[1][2]
The evidence for its parentage of Nicotiana tabacum is weaker at this time than it is for the other two species Nicotiana sylvestris, and Nicotiana tomentosiformis.

gollark: Yeeees.
gollark: Well, yes, you can subtract 1 from stuff obviously, but converting the indexes is annoying.
gollark: Except Lua for some reason?
gollark: Also, it makes sense with the C notion of arrays so everyone copied it.
