Notes:

This is a wild growing plant that will grow in any type of soil. Is it Rabitt Tobacco or have I been wrong for years?

   No. This is not rabbit tobacco that I use to pick and smoke.

   does it get a large yellow flower? If so it sort of looks like Mullien. http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/weeds/plants/great_mullein.htm

   It grows here and you’ll see it on the side of the roads a lot. It is an herb, with benificial health property’s.

   Your plant looks alot like common mullen. http://plants.usda.gov/java/largeImage?imageID=veth_006_ahp.jpg
   And rabbit’baccer is a cudweed and looks like this http://www.shoestringseed.com/plants/species/cudweed.html
   Now that is green rabbit’baccer and it ain’t no good till after a killing frost has been on it.
   I understand common mullen makes a pretty good substitute for toilet paper for those looking for green solutions but I wouldn’t recommend smoking or chewing it. Tell me you didn’t try smoking mullen!

   Funny, because here in Alabama we always called that rabbit tobacco too. When I started getting into wilderness survival and studying up on wild medicines and edible plants, this confused me a lot to see “rabbit tobacco” and it not be what I always thought I knew it was.
