Outline of proposed changes
Iris pallida


 * Add sources that provide evidence of what is already in the article (some of the links do not work or are not really relevant) ??

- "is a rustic, vigorous, and hardy species,"


 * Add to cultivation section:

- " The Iris species cultivated in Italy for medicinal and aromatic purposes are Iris pallida, very valuable and grown especially in the Chianti area, and Iris germanica, less valuable and present in the Verona region. Iris pallida is mostly cultivated in Tuscany as a secondary crop in family-owned farms where the main cultivations are olive trees or grapes (Belletti et al., 2013). The plants are usually cultivated where other crops would fail and where the steep slopes limit the use of machinery."


 * Many uses of, including:

- "medicinal treatments"

- food "orris butter" "soft drinks, candy adn chewing gum." "Orris root is often included as one of the many ingredients of Ras el hanout, a blend of herbs and spices primarily associated with Maroccan cuisine (Lim, 2016)."

- perfumes "Dried orris is currently used in potpourris as room fresheners, or in sachets ( http://www.superbherbs.net ). But these practices are rooted in history also. For example, the practice to perfume linen with orris dates to 1480 during the time of Edward IV of England ( http://www.botanical.com ) while in the early 1600’s fine linen ruffs in storage were sprinkled with powdered orris root (Johansen, 2008). Also, the French peasants had the habit of immersing their bed linen in boiled water that was poured over orris root pieces to confer pleasant smell (Stager, 1917)."

- rosary beads

- teething necklaces


 * Environments:

adaptability to different environments

- "behaves like a hardy species by adapting well to different cultivation environments, especially to both non calcareous and calcareous soils. The observed adaptability of this species to different environments might contribute to the spread of this crop even in marginal soils."

- "Results of the present investigation suggest that in the area and in the period under study, there were more than 1,700 Iris pallida GGDs from the vegetative growth resumption to the harvest. Different temperature conditions could lead to a reduction or extension of the growth cycle of Iris."

environmental impact on flowering

- "In conclusion, it can be said that the climatic conditions (Fig. 1) influenced the flowering time"

- "longest lasting flowers were those belonging to Iris pallida." "Iris pallida, in comparison had a slower emergence from the spathe but longer lasting flowers"

- "It was noted that colder spring months will delay the flowering period of many Iris species (Iris pumila, Iris aphylla, Iris pallida, Iris sibirica, Iris pseudacorus, Iris orientalis, Iris setosa)."
