Moraea and Homeria are poisonous and pose significant problems in cattle-and sheep-raising areas, notably in southern Africa.

Gladiolus and Moraea are large genera and major constituents of the flora of sub-Saharan and Southern Africa.

Species of Moraea are unusual in the family in having channeled leaves with a distinct upper and lower surface.

Major dysploid series are restricted to a few genera, such as Romulea, the related Crocus as well as Gladiolus and Lapeirousia ( all members of subfamily Crocoideae ), and Iris, Moraea, and Sisyrinchium ( Iridoideae ).

According to the IUCN, the following species are endangered: Babiana longicollis, Cyanixia socotrana ( as Babiana socotrana ), Gladiolus pole-evansii, Moraea garipensis, Moraea graniticola and Moraea hexaglottis .< ref name =" catorce "> IUCN 2008.

These plants were formerly placed in the genus Moraea, but were reclassified because they are rhizomatous.

Like Moraea, they differ from Iris in having flowers with six free tepals that are not joined into a tube at their bases.

* Iridoideae, includes 30 genera and about 820 species, is distributed throughout the range of the family, and contains the large genera Iris and Moraea.

This subfamily contains most of the familiar genera ( other than Iris and Moraea ) such as Ixia, Gladiolus, Crocus, Freesia and Watsonia.

It shares characteristics of both Iris and the African genus Moraea and is most likely close to the ancestral stock that gave rise to these more specialized genera.

Common names include Fortnight lily, African iris, Morea or Moraea iris, Japanese iris and Butterfly iris, each of which may be used differently in different regions for one or more of the four species within the genus.

Some references mention the species Dietes vegeta or D. vegeta variegata, springing from some confusion with Moraea vegata ( which grows from a corm, not a rhizome ).

Many species in the iris family have a great economic importance in ornamental horticulture and the cut flower industry, especially Gladiolus, Freesia, Sparaxis, Iris, Tigridia ( tiger lily ), Ixia ( corn lily ), Romulea, Neomarica, Moraea ( butterfly lily ), Nemastylis, Belamcanda, Sisyrinchium ( blue-eyed grass ), Crocosmia and Trimezia.

Complex translocation heterozygotes have been discovered in three species of Homeria ( currently included in Gladiolus ), a genus from South Africa.

Homeria species produce bunches of cormels on underground stem nodes, and Watsonia meriana for example actually produces cormels profusely from under the bracts on the inflorescences.
