Re: Iranian lactea

---

The BIS Species Iris book gives a range of Mongolia, central China, and
Korea.
But then under "Observations", it says "Plants are found over and
immense range
of the Near and Far East". It goes on to say that the plants are used
for fodder
and making rope, and indicates that I. lactea is spread by man. Maybe that
explains how an I. lactea ended up in Iran.
