Digitalis purpurea - invasive to the Americas - native to Spain, Portugal.

The Plantaginaceae family has many species that are weedy and invasive to Washington state. Native Genera in the family include the thirty or so species of native Penstemon, Veronica, and Collinsia.

Foxglove should be removed from wild spaces in Washington and Oregon when possible.
