Septal nectary
Old merge tag ... Done --Michael Goodyear (talk) 16:59, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Researchers speculate the purpose of this addition
The last paragraph, as it stands now, in reference to the aroma of a tobacco plant native to Utah having a nicotine component, says that "Researchers speculate the purpose of this addition...."

May I suggest that what people may speculate is hardly encylopaedic content?

More importantly, what sort of researchers would look for purpose in a plant's functions? Does this have a special connection with anything else with origins in Utah?--Alkhowarizmi (talk) 10:46, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
