N. quadrivalvis, was apparently an uncommon and fairly localized species used by American natives, shown as "6" in the region of North Dakota.

Buffalo Bird Woman recounts the tobacco grown exclusively by the old men in her Hidatsa tribe during her childhood. She narrated her story as an old woman in the early 20th century, so her childhood reaches back to the early 19th century. The Hidatsa clearly used N. quadrivalvis.

Yup. I have both N.Quadrivalvis and N. Clevelandii

Sky, are you still working on getting a retail seed site up? If so I will wait patiently. If not, can I send you payment and a padded envelope for a small quantity of each?
