Nicotiana bigelovii

Indian Tobacco, Nicotiana bigelovii, is a beautiful annual wildflower native to sandy areas from LA to Oregon at elevations up to 4000 ft.  Tubular white flowers are used by hummingbirds and many different moths. Like many summer flowering wildflowers, it is very resinous and very fragrant, which inhibits all the hungry summer creatures that would eat them.  History of its use by Native americans    History of its uses by Native americans from the School of Biological Sciences at UC Irvine
