Iris xiphium is native to Portugal and Spain, thriving in dry meadows, woodlands, and scrublands. It supports pollinators like wild bees and butterflies, enriching landscapes often threatened by agriculture and land abandonment. Though not endangered, it benefits from habitat conservation that protects Mediterranean plant diversity.
