[edit] large removal of content

On Aug 18th a large section of this page was removed by user:JoJan, containing information on chemistry, usage, cultural symbolism and the etymology of the word calamus. The edit summary was: "editing". The common name 'calamus' also seems to have been removed. I restored the information for now, and added some other common English names for this species, but please explain if there is a good reason for not identifying this plant with the word "calamus", or if there was any problem with the other information.
