<i>Iris pallida</i> (Dalmatian iris or Sweet iris) is a hardy flowering perennial plant of the genus Iris, family Iridaceae. It is native to the Dalmatian coast (Croatia) but widely naturalised elsewhere. It is a member of the subgenus iris, meaning that it is a bearded iris, and grows from a rhizome.<br/><br/>

It is cultivated as a garden plant, and commercially for extraction of essential oils from its rhizome (orris root). It has also been used as a medicinal plant in the Middle East to cure Urinary tract infections, by boiling the leaves or the rhizomes in water.
