Acorus Calamus Sweet Flag

Acorus Calamus commonly known as Sweet Flag.

Dark green iris-like foliage with a small green horn-shaped bloom.

It grows from a rhizome which runs across the ground out of which the leaves rise up.

It has been used in fragrances and medicinal cures since Egyptian times.
