Wild or Aztec Tobacco, Mapacho, Nicotiana rustica, Solanaceae, Mexico and Tropical South America. Poisonous Plant. Nicotiana rustica, known in South America as Mapacho, is a plant in the Solanaceae family. It is a very potent variety of tobacco. The high concentration of nicotine in its leaves makes it useful for creating organic pesticides. Rustica is also used for entheogenic purposes by South American shamans. Growing in the rainforest it contains up to twenty times more nicotine than common North American varieties such as N. tabacum.
