hypervalent_iodine Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 With due respect, have you tried Google? You're asking for a lot of information.
Arete Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) First off, "Digitalis" is a genus of around 20 species plants, commonly known as foxgloves. Your post sounds a little like you're trying to get someone to do your homework for you - which is not really what the forum is about. For a general start, try the wikipedia page.

Acme Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Here in Washington State USA, Foxglove is widely distributed West of the Cascade mountain range. According to local Burke Herbarium webpage it is not native, being introduced from Eurasia. University of Michigan Ethnobotany records taken in 1936 indicate the flowers were used as ceremonial decorations by the Hoh & Quileute tribes. I have found and photographed 2 varieties growing within a few feet of one-another in SW Washington. At least one of the blooms harbored a small white Flower Crab Spider lying in wait for a meal. I do not propagate Foxglove and remove them when I find them in the wild. Digitalis purpurea June 28, 2009 Digitalis purpurea alba June 28, 2009
John Cuthber Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 "Hi all for Ecologist in the house, what is the systematic position of "Digitalis"," As far as I'm concerned, it's current position is growing rather well in my back garden.
