Gladiolus
Gladiolus (a gladio) est genus perennium cormosarumque plantarum florentium familiae Iridacearum. Plantae huius generis in Asia, Europa Mediterranea, Africa Australi, et Africa tropica inveniuntur. Centrum diversitatis in Regione Floristica Capitis est. Genera Acidanthera, Anomalesia, Homoglossum, et Oenostachys, olim distincta habita, nunc inter Gladiolos digeruntur.

Species

Generi Gladiolo sunt 300 fere species. "World Checklist of Selected Plant Families" plus quam 276 species anno 1988 perscripsit, et 300 species mense Februario 2017 agnoscebat, quarum 260 in Africa austrina et 76 in Africa tropica endemicae sunt. Circa decem species in Eurasia ortae sunt.
