Floppydock is a Devon dialect name for the foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) — the tall, strikingly beautiful wildflower and poisonous plant known across Britain for its tubular purple flowers. Devon dialect has particularly rich plant-naming traditions, and 'floppydock' captures the foxglove's slightly drooping, soft floral spikes. The term is hyper-local and encountered in Devon dialect studies and local natural history records. The standard name 'foxglove' would be used everywhere else in Britain.
