Re: is this calamus(sweet flag)?
Erowids images looks more the flowers of Calamus gibbsianus, but the plant behind the small flowers look more like sweet flag calamus. I guess it could of been a mistake due to the name, but swim is not really sure on this one.

Re: is this calamus(sweet flag)?
The leaf is the best for identity - aside from taste. The worst thing SWIM could do is mistake this critter for Blue-Lilly - which has a root-stock that tastes acrid and burning. Get a book and study. Acorus Calamus is plentiful. So it could well be. But continue the field taxonomy before you let SWIM chew it.
