A.S. Macmillan in his Popular Names of Flowers, Fruits, etc., 1922: 121 lists gypsy baccy as a name for wood sage (Teucrium scorodonia). Has anyone any evidence that this plant was ever used as a tobacco substitute?
Information on other wild plants used as tobacco substitutes would also be appreciated.
