The three axes are assessed independently and are never combined into a single score.

KTKP records the origin species as Acorus gramineus Sol. ex Aiton. It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The same drug appears under 2 records as name variants. The same source species also yields 1 other separately registered drug(s) (Flabellum ex Acori), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Acorus gramineus. Literature searches for this herb also cover Acorus macrospadiceus, Acori graminei — the same taxon appears under several names. The nomenclatural discussion for this herb was flagged for correction during verification; only the verified facts are shown here, with the details in docs/HERB_NAME_RESEARCH.md.
