Other names: Acorus gramineus, Argenteostriatus, Japenese sweet flag, Grassy-leaved sweet flag

The grass-leaved buttercup, scientifically known as Acorus gramineus, is a plant native to Asia. It is a species of sedge that is abundant in wet and watery areas such as ponds, swamps and streams. There are several popular variations of this plant, including 'Argenteostriatus', which is distinguished by its attractive silvery striped leaves. Other English names for this diverse plant are Japanese sweet flag and Grassy-leaved sweet flag, referring to its pleasant scent.

The grass-leaved gentian is used in several industries. It can be safely used as an ornamental plant in gardens or ponds because of its unpretentious and decorative appearance. It is also used in folk medicine for its effects on digestion and cold symptoms. But most of all it is used in pharmacy and perfumery. In fact, the scent of the grass leaf is very specific, pleasantly sweet and strong, which is used in the production of perfumes and fragrances for soaps and other cosmetic products. The only thing to avoid is ingesting large quantities of the rock, as it can have a toxic effect.
