Abstract

Although Nicotiana sylvestris and N. plumbaginifolia belong to the same section, viz., Alatae of the subgenus Petunioides, they differ markedly in morphology, geographic distribution, and karyotype (Goodspeed 1954). N. sylvestris is the maternal parent of cultivated allotetraploid N. tabacum (Gray et al. 1974), which is in the subgenus Tabacum, and possesses some morphological characters not present in the section Alatae. N. sylvestris occurs exclusively in northwestern Argentina, while N. plumbaginifolia has a much wider distribution, extending from northwestern Argentina to Brazil, Peru, Guatemala, Cuba, and Mexico. The chromosomes of N. sylvestris 2n=24) are rather uniform in size and are clearly bi-armed, while those of N. plumbaginifolia (2n=20) differ significantly in size and are telocentric or acrocentric (Fig. 1A,B).
