Summary Nicotiana excelsior is a species restricted to central Australia. It is illustrated here from plants grown at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, from seeds collected at Kata‐Tjuta‐Uluru National Park in the Northern Territory. It is a very attractive species and makes an excellent horticultural subject. Its ecology, etymology, traditional use and cultivation are discussed.
