Boundaries Within the Paepalanthus chiquitensis Species Complex (Eriocaulaceae)
ABSTRACT Four morphotypes with associated names are presented toward a more reliable circumscription of Paepalanthus chiquitensis. Morphotype I, associated with the names P. chiquitensis, P. speciosus var. bolivianus, and P. amoenus var. bolivianus, is restricted to savannas of Bolivia and western Brazil.

The aim of our study was to evaluate these genotypes to be considered for further breeding programs or eventually for direct cultivation in super‐high‐density (SHD) planting systems.

Abstract We explore phylogenetic relationships within the Pachira sensu lato clade (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae), test the monophyly of the genera Eriotheca and Pachira, and investigate their biogeographic history. The Pachira s.l. clade comprises ca. 72 species that traditionally have been placed in Eriotheca and Pachira. We sampled ca. 79% of its species

I argue that the variability of concepts is central to their role in enabling cognition, and thus that a concept's content variability is, despite philosophical ...

Orthodoxy assumes that the first‐person thoughts of an individual are anchored to a stable object. I challenge this assumption by arguing that “I” is polysemous. The perspectival anchor of a first‐person thought could be the bearer of the thought, the agent, the bearer of perception, or a body, to name just a few options.
