Digitalis is a genus within the plant family Plantaginaceae, classified under the order Lamiales and class Magnoliopsida.

The species Digitalis purpurea is native to regions including Belgium, Corse, Czechia-Slovakia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Morocco, Portugal, Sardegna, Spain, and Sweden.

Digitalis Les digitales forment le genre Digitalis, environ vingt espèces de plantes herbacées classiquement placées dans la famille des Scrofulariacées. Les études récentes situent désormais ce genre dans les Plantaginacées. Les digitales sont originaires d'Europe, d'Afrique du nord-ouest et d'Asie occidentale et centrale. Ces plantes peuvent être très toxiques. L'absorption d'environ une dizaine de feuilles provoque des troubles graves sur un sujet humain de corpulence moyenne.
