Often growing in the shade of mulga or gum trees or on the shady sides of rocks or in caves, it ranges from near the Indian Ocean in north-western Western Australia to central portions of the Northern Territory, mostly north of the Tropic of Capricorn. Botanists Mark Wayne Chase and Maarten J. M. Christenhusz wrote the species description in 2021. Nicotiana insecticida is remarkable in its insect trapping abilities. The species epithet, insecticida, is Latin for insect killer, and refers to this species  killing many small insects with its extremely sticky hairs. References
