 '''''Acorus calamus''''', commonly known as '''sweet flag''' or '''calamus''' and various [[Juncaceae|rushes]] and [[sedge]]s,<ref>Other names include cinnamon sedge, flagroot, gladdon, myrtle flag, myrtle grass, myrtle sedge, sweet cane, sweet myrtle, sweet root, sweet rush, and sweet sedge</ref> is a [[plant]] from the [[Acoraceae]] family, in the genus ''[[Acorus]]''.  It is a tall [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[wetland]] [[monocot]] with [[scent]]ed leaves and more strongly scented [[rhizome]]s, which have been used medicinally, for its odor, and as a [[Psychoactive drug|psychotropic drug]]. Probably indigenous to [[India]], ''Acorus calamus'' is now found across Europe, much of Asia, Australia, and southern Canada/Northern USA, where it may be mistaken for the native ''[[Acorus americanus]]''.
-The leaves are between 0.7 and 1.7&nbsp;cm wide, with average of 1&nbsp;cm. The sympodial leaf of ''Acorus calamus'' is somewhat shorter than the vegetative leaves. The margin is curly-edged or undulate. The [[spadix]], at the time of expansion, can reach a length between 4.9 and 8.9&nbsp;cm (longer than ''A. americanus''). The flowers are longer too, between 3 and 4&nbsp;mm. ''Acorus calamus'' is infertile and shows an abortive [[ovary (plants)|ovary]] with a shriveled appearance.

 ==Cultivation==

+It is hardy to zone 3 and is not frost tender. It is in flower from May to July, and the seeds ripen from July to August. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects.
 ===Propagation===
-{{edit-prop}}<!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->
+Seed - best sown in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe. Stand the pot in about 3cm of water. Pot up young seedlings as soon as they are large enough to handle, keep them wet by standing the pots in shallow water and overwinter for the first year in a greenhouse or cold frame. Seed is rarely produced in Britain[4, 17]. Division in spring just before growth starts[1]. Very easy, it can be carried out successfully at any time in the growing season and can be planted direct into its permanent positions[K].
