Tex-Mex Tobacco is an annual herb, 1-3 ft tall, stems
slender. Basal leaves are obovate or inverted-lanceshaped, 15-23 cm
long; the lower ones rotund-ovate, stalkless, the margin wavy, pointed,
usually twisted, the base clasping the stem. Upper stem leaves reduced,
lancelike to linear-lanceshaped, margin strongly wavy. Inflorescence is a
false raceme with a 3-7 mm long stalk. Sepals are unequal, 4-8 mm long,
linear. Flowers have a long narrow flower-tube, abruptly flaring open
into petals which are ovate, pointed. The tube is pale green or purplish,
long and slender, 3.5-4.5 cm long, 1.5-2 mm wide. Tex-Mex Tobacco is
native to the American continent, widely naturalized in India.
