Iris douglasiana, the Douglas iris, is a common wildflower of the coastal regions of Northern and Central California and southern Oregon in the United States. It grows mainly at lower elevations and is most common in grasslands near the coast. The plant is commonly cultivated outside of its native range, and has been used by humans for its strong fibers and medicinal properties.
