Abstract	The genus Gladiolus commonly referred to as Gladioli belongs to the family Iridaceae. Members of this genus are herbaceous and cormous with conspicuously showy flowers, the main part for identifying the different species. They are wide spread in Eurasia, South Africa and Tropical Africa where they are utilized as ornamentals, in floriculture industry, as food, in traditional medicine and in social functions amongst others. Although earlier reports indicate that there are six species in Kenya, only four species have been regularly encountered. This article is a review of taxonomy, distribution, utilization, bioassays and phytochemistry of selected four Gladiolus spp. found in Kenya.
