Acorus

Genus of plants of the Araceae (arum lily) family which has two species, Acorus calamus, the sweet flag, and A. gramineus, a Japanese plant. The rhizome has a sweet-scented oil, and by its branching reproduces the plant vegetatively. The plant was one of the mediaeval strewing herbs used to sweeten floors.
