Abstract
Summary. Gladiolus clivorum and G. exalatus are new species of this large African and Eurasian genus of Iridaceae subfamily Crocoideae, both from Tanzania. These additions bring the total in the genus in tropical Africa to 84 species and the entire genus to 270 species. Moraea niassensis (subg. Grandiflorae Goldblatt) is a new, montane species of northern Niassa Province, Mozambique. The Africa and western Eurasian Moraea now includes some 225 species, 25 of which occur in tropical Africa. An identification key to the large-flowered species of subg. Grandiflorae in East Africa and Mozambique is provided. The new species are documented with a map, photographs and a conservation assessment.
