[[File:Acorus calamus1.jpg|thumb|right|''Bhutanashini'']]
Acorus calamus (also called sweet flag or calamus, among many common names) is a tall perennial wetland monocot of the Acoraceae family, in the genus Acorus. In spite of common names that include the words "rush" and "sedge", it is neither a rush nor sedge.The scented leaves and more strongly scented rhizomes have traditionally been used medicinally and to make fragrances, and the dried and powdered rhizome has been used as a substitute for [[Ginger]],[[Sthula tvak]] (cinnamon) and nutmeg.
