Calamus -
Easton's Bible Dictionary
The Latin for cane, Hebrew Kaneh , mentioned (Exodus 30:23) as
one of the ingredients in the holy anointing oil, one of the
sweet scents (Cant 4:14), and among the articles sold in the
markets of Tyre (Ezekiel 27:19). The word designates an Oriental
plant called the "sweet flag," the Acorus calamus of Linnaeus.
It is elsewhere called "sweet cane" (Isaiah 43:24; Jeremiah
6:20). It has an aromatic smell, and when its knotted stalk is
cut and dried and reduced to powder, it forms an ingredient in
the most precious perfumes. It was not a native of Palestine,
but was imported from Arabia Felix or from India.
