Yerba porosa (Porophyllum ruderale)

Ketumbar bolivia or yerba porosa (Porophyllum ruderale) is a plant species, upright, reddish purple stems, green leaves, tubular flowers, branches, up to 2 meters high and aromatic fragrant leaves used as salsa spices.

P. ruderale has scattered leaves in a spiral and 0.5-3 cm long stem. Hairless strands, elliptical to round eggs, 1-7 cm wide, 0.5-2.5 cm long, a bone in the middle, a narrow base along the stalk and several pore-like glandular holes at the edges.

Compound flowers in long nodules such as tubes 2-2.5x6-10 mm. Sitting in the terminal or in the armpit of the leaf, containing up to 30 flowers, 2-5 cm long stalks that swell at the end. Crown tube is narrow, 1-1.5 cm long, yellowish green with brownish purple tips and 5 short strands.

Hard fruit, 6-8 mm long and narrow, striped and very fine haired with a pappus up to 1 cm long. Yerba porosa grows wild on damp land that is damp, rich in sunlight or rather shady, rice fields in the mountains and abandoned lands in the lowlands.

Sonokeling or Java palisandre or Indian rosewood ( Dalbergia latifolia ) is a species of plant in the Fabaceae, a large tree producing hardwood, medium weight and high quality, rounded leaves, thin and broad pods, highly adaptive, grows in dry and rocky landscapes with lots of sunlight. D. latifolia has medium to large size, cylindrical stems, up to 40 m high with a ring of up to 2 m, the bark is brownish gray and slightly cracked longitudinally. The crown is dense, dome-shaped and sheds leaves. The leaves are compound and pinnate oddly with 5-7 strands that have different sizes and appear alternately on the shaft. The leaves are round or elongated in width or heart, the upper surface is green and the surface is pale green. The flowers are small, 0.5-1 cm long and clustered in panicles. The pods are green to brown when ripe and are elongated lanceolate, pointed at the base and tip. The pods have 1-4 seeds which are soft and brownish. Indian rosewood grows at elevations below 600 m,

Evolution theory goes beyond

OPINION - As a Wallacean and Darwinian, I have always viewed life from the perspective of evolutionism. I see the world of plants and animals always using evolutionary theories. How a species develops functional organs, forms morphology, adapts to ecosystems and so on as a natural laws. This perspective ultimately forms my framework for thinking about various things, including the way I see myself, everyday problems and the way I think about big things such as economics, geopolitics, war and so on using an evolutionary perspective. Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Darwin and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck are three great figures who really inspired me. They are well known as pioneers of evolutionary theories. They start from small things in the sub-subject of biology, although they also discuss geology and so on. Wallace focused on species adaptation and Darwin on sexual selection. Both developed evolutionary thinking using observational methods. Lamarck focused on structural morphology using l
