--><p><i>Digitalis purpurea</i> was once used as a commercial source of digitalin, is widely cultivated, and has many cultivars. Some plants have been identified as European subspecies; all variability in the flora area appears to be from cultivars of <i></i>subsp.<i> purpurea</i>. <i>Digitalis</i> ×mertonensis B. H. Buxton & C. D. Darlington (strawberry or giant foxglove) is a hybrid of <i>D. purpurea</i> with <i>D. grandiflora</i> that is sometimes cultivated.</p>
