Description: Foxglove is most easily recognized by the flowers which are tubular, about 3 inches in length, and droop downwards. They are usually purple or pink (rarely white) and are usually spotted along the inside bottom of the tube.
Symptoms may include: Diarrhoea, abdominal pain, irregular pulse, tremors and convulsions.
Notes: Not normally eaten as it has a nasty taste but animals can develop a craving for it once eaten. Does not lose its toxicity when dried.
