    As far as I know there are only two species of Acorus, with no mention of christoffii, perhaps it is a quantum Acorus, that both exists and doesn't exist depending on how you look at it, I'm still working on designing a two slit Sweet Flag detector, and no I have not been chewing on the leaves.
