thick-root iris
Iris tigridia
Iris tigridia is a plant traditionally not associated with any specific medicinal uses or practices. The scientific literature does not provide information on its traditional applications across various cultures. A study focusing on the complete chloroplast genome of Iris confusa revealed that it is 152,470 bp in length and contains 133 genes, supporting taxonomic adjustments for several Iris species, including the reinstatement of Iris pandurata as a distinct species from Iris tigridia. This research also clarifies the taxonomic identity of Iris thoroldii by distinguishing it from I. potaninii and accepting it as a separate species with two color forms. The study further supports the monophyly of Iris sect. Psammiris, suggesting some taxonomic modifications within this section. No significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Iris tigridia to date.
