Gnarlroot Wargrove allied Wizard

[Isotop]

Can a allied Wizard in a Gnarlroot Wargrove cast Verdurous Harmony? The Battalion Warscroll states: 

 "Each Gnarlroot WIZARD also knows the following spell: VERDUROUS HARMONY [...]" (Gnarlroot Wargrove Warscroll under MAGIC)

 So the conditions a amodel has to statisfy in order for being allowed to cast Verdurous Harmony seem to be:

1. The model is part of the Gnarlroot Wargrove Battalion

2. The model has the WIZARD keyword on its Warcroll

I recently found out that allied Wizards are not allowed to pick a spell from the Deepwood Spell Lore (Sylvaneth Discussion, page 23). Verdurous Harmony not being a spell from the Deepwood Spell Lore though, I would appreciate any comments on this matter.

Yes they know the spell for the reasons you've stated. Allies can't benefit from allegiance abilities (under which spell lores fall), but this is a battalion ability that isn't tied to any allegiance abilities. They cannot, however, set up in the hidden enclaves.

This was covered in the designers commentary that a allied wizard cannot pick a spell from the deepwood lore.

How is this topic covered by the commentary? Verdurous Harmony is not a spell from the Deepwood Spell Lore.

They also specify said in the commentary that the ORDER wizard can know the spell from the battalion because it is not a lore spell from Sylvaneth

Yes but the spell is battalion specific. It states all wizards in this battalion know this spell. Not just Sylvaneth
