| Abstract: | The
word Acorus is
derived from the Greek word ‘acoron’, which in turn is derived from ‘coreon’
meaning
pupil and refers to the alleged ophthalmic virtues of the plant. Calamus
originated from a
Greek
word ‘kalamos’, meaning ‘reed’. In Sanskrit it is commonly called kalama,
meaning ‘reed’ and ‘pen’ as well as
a sort of rice. It is a small genus of herbs, comprising two species viz. Acorus
calamus and Acorus
gramineus, found in the North temperate regions and
South-East Asia. |
