[edit] Cultivar Group?

It might be that since this is cultivated only, not a wild species, that it really should be treated as a cultivar group and have a cultivar infobox instead of a taxobox. However, Nicotiana tabacum is written like a species (compare with Rosa centifolia), and I don't know if we use cultivar infoboxes with them. On the plus side, the cultivar infobox does provide a place to put the origin (which I suspect is "Americas, pre-historic" although I haven't gone source-hunting on that). Of course we could just put the origin in the text. Kingdon 04:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
