Gladiolus illyricus, the wild gladiolus, is a tall gladiolus plant that grows up to 50 centimeters (20 in) tall found in western and southern Europe, particularly around the Mediterranean region.
In Britain a small population is known in the New Forest region; Williamson suggests this population may be introduced. [1] [2] It became a protected species in the UK in 1975 under the Conservation of Wild Creatures and Wild Plants Act. [3]
