What's the difference between calamus and flagroot?
Calamus
Definition:
(n.) The indian cane, a plant of the Palm family. It furnishes the common rattan. See Rattan, and Dragon's blood.
(n.) A species of Acorus (A. calamus), commonly called calamus, or sweet flag. The root has a pungent, aromatic taste, and is used in medicine as a stomachic; the leaves have an aromatic odor, and were formerly used instead of rushes to strew on floors.
(n.) The horny basal portion of a feather; the barrel or quill.
Example Sentences:

(2) The spinal cord was transected at the level of calamus scriptorius either completely (spinal preparation) or partially (funicular preparation).
(3) An ethanol extract of Acorus calamus rhizomes was screened for CNS effects using a battery of 20 tests in rats and mice.
(4) Water soluble dried powder of alcoholic extract of roots and rhizomes of A. calamus L. was used.

(6) In its pharmacological properties the studied asarone is identical with asarone obtained from Acorus calamus and Guatteria.
(7) The extract exhibited a large number of actions similar to alpha-asarone (an active principle of A. calamus) but differed from the latter in several other respects including the responses to electroshock, apomorphine- and isolation-induced aggressive behaviour, amphetamine toxicity in aggregated mice, behavioural despair syndrome in forced swimming, etc.
(8) Abnormal feathers, characterized by thinness and increased transparency of the calamus and rachis, and loss of barbs, were induced at a high frequency by inoculating day-old chicks with reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) propagated in chicken-embryo fibroblast (CEF) cultures.
