Common Foxglove

<em>Digitalis purpurea</em> is a biennial or short-lived perennial plant in the family Plantaginaceae, order Lamiales, commonly known as common foxglove. This species is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant and has been naturalized broadly across the globe, with presence documented across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. <em>Digitalis purpurea</em> typically grows in open woodlands, woodland clearings, hillsides, and disturbed ground, particularly on acidic, well-drained soils. In its first year, the plant forms a rosette of large, softly hairy leaves; in its second year it produces a tall flower spike, often exceeding one meter, bearing distinctive tubular, purple-pink flowers with spotted throats. The flowers are adapted for pollination by bumblebees. The plant contains potent cardiac glycosides, particularly digitoxin and digoxin, compounds that have been critically important in the development of heart failure medications. Despite its medicinal importance, the plant is toxic if ingested. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
