" The species are collectively known as sun pitchers, based on the mistaken notion that the \"heli\" of \"Heliamphora\" is from the Greek \"helios\", meaning \"sun\".",
" In fact, the name derives from \"helos\", meaning marsh, so a more accurate translation of their scientific name would be marsh pitcher plants.",
" Species in the genus \"Heliamphora\" are carnivorous plants that consist of a modified leaf form that is fused into a tubular shape.",

" Some species of the family Dendrobatidae exhibit extremely bright coloration along with high toxicity, while others have cryptic coloration with minimal to no amount of observed toxicity.",

"Sphagnum is a genus of approximately 380 accepted species of mosses, commonly known as peat moss.",
" Accumulations of \"Sphagnum\" can store water, since both living and dead plants can hold large quantities of water inside their cells; plants may hold 16–26 times as much water as their dry weight, depending on the species.",
" The empty cells help retain water in drier conditions.",
" Hence, as sphagnum moss grows, it can slowly spread into drier conditions, forming larger mires, both raised bogs and blanket bogs.",
" These peat accumulations then provide habitat for a wide array of peatland plants, including sedges and ericaceous shrubs, as well as orchids and carnivorous plants.",
" \"Sphagnum\" and the peat formed from it do not decay readily because of the phenolic compounds embedded in the moss's cell walls.",
" In addition, bogs, like all wetlands, develop anaerobic soil conditions, which produces slower anaerobic decay rather than aerobic microbial action.",
" Peat moss can also acidify its surroundings by taking up cations, such as calcium and magnesium, and releasing hydrogen ions.",
" Under the right conditions, peat can accumulate to a depth of many meters.",
" Different species of \"Sphagnum\" have different tolerance limits for flooding and pH, so any one peatland may have a number of different \"Sphagnum\" species."

" Some uncertain species within the genus are also recorded from Middle Devonian outcrops in Kazakhstan, Russia (Timan and Siberia), and the Ukraine.",
" While a number of species have been described in the paleobotanical literature, the genus likely only contains two well-circumscribed species, \"A. germanicum\" and \"A. doui\", and possibly a third species, \"A. olnense\", from Fammenian outcrops in Belgium.",
" If the ages of the Early Devonian (Emsian) records of \"A. germanicum\" reported from Siberia are confirmed, these would constitute the oldest records of this genus."

[
"Jatropha is a genus of flowering plants in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae.",
" The name is derived from the Greek words ἰατρός (\"iatros\"), meaning \"physician\", and τροφή (\"trophe\"), meaning \"nutrition\", hence the common name physic nut.",
" Another common name is nettlespurge.",
" It contains approximately 170 species of succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like \"Jatropha curcas\").",
" Most of these are native to the Americas, with 66 species found in the Old World.",

"A savings and loan association (S&L), or thrift institution, is a financial institution that specializes in accepting savings, deposits, and making mortgage and other loans.",
" The terms \"\"S&L\"\" or \"\"thrift\"\" are mainly used in the United States; similar institutions in the United Kingdom, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries include building societies and trustee savings banks.",

" While it is possible for an S&L to be a joint-stock company, and even publicly traded; in such instances it is no longer truly a mutual association, and depositors and borrowers no longer have membership rights and managerial control.",
" By law, thrifts can have no more than 20 percent of their lending in commercial loans — their focus on mortgage and consumer loans makes them particularly vulnerable to housing downturns such as the deep one the U.S. has experienced since 2007."
