Question: What type of organisms are the South American Echinopsis and the European and Asian Pulmonaria?
Context: A carbonate platform is a sedimentary body which possesses topographic relief, and is composed of autochthonous calcareous deposits (Wilson, 1975).  Platform growth is mediated by sessile organisms whose skeletons build up the reef or by organisms (usually microbes) which induce carbonate precipitation through their metabolism.  Therefore, carbonate platforms can not grow up everywhere: they are not present in places where limiting factors to the life of reef-building organisms exist.  Such limiting factors are, among others: light, water temperature, transparency and pH-Value.  For example, carbonate sedimentation along the Atlantic South American coasts takes place everywhere but at the mouth of the Amazon River, because of the intense turbidity of the water there (Carannante et al., 1988).  Spectacular examples of present-day carbonate platforms are the Bahama Banks under which the platform is roughly 8 km thick, the Yucatan Peninsula which is up to 2 km thick, the Florida platform, the platform on which the Great Barrier Reef is growing, and the Maldive atolls. All these carbonate platforms and their associated reefs are confined to tropical latitudes.  Today’s reefs are built mainly by scleractinian corals, but in the distant past other organisms, like archaeocyatha (during the Cambrian) or extinct cnidaria (tabulata and rugosa) were important reef builders. The UNASUR Constitutive Treaty, officially the Constitutive Treaty of the Union of South American Nations, was signed on May 23, 2008 during the extraordinary summit of heads of state and government of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) held in Brasília, Brazil.  It officially established the Union of South American Nations, a intergovernmental continental union of twelve South American nations. The South American Youth Football Championship, also known as U-20 South American Championship and Juventud de América (English: "America's Youth") is a South American association football tournament organized by the CONMEBOL (CONfederación SudaMEricana de FútBOL), for South American national teams of men under age of 20. The Cusco Declaration, formally titled Preamble to the Foundation Act of the South American Union, is a two-page declaration of intent signed by 12 South American countries during the Third South American Summit on 8 December 2004 in Cusco, Peru.  It announces the foundation of the Union of South American Nations.  It called for a regional parliament, a common market and a common currency. Orlando Javier Elizeche (born 3 June 1987) is a Paraguayan Long Distance runner from Encarnación.  He represented Paraguay at the 2008 South American Cross Country Championships, 2011 South American Cross Country Championships and 2014 South American Cross Country Championships and is tied to Club Bella Vista in the Federación Paraguaya de Atletismo.  At the 2014 South American Cross Country Championships, he finished in 19th position of the Senior men's 12 km race event in a time of 40:48.02. Pulmonaria (lungwort) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae, native to Europe and western Asia, with one species ("P. mollissima") east to central Asia.  According to various estimates there may be between 10 and 18 species found in the wild, but the taxonomy of this genus is very confusing. Echinopsis is a large genus of cacti native to South America, sometimes known as hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus or Easter lily cactus.  One small species, "E. chamaecereus", is known as the peanut cactus.  The 128 species range from large and treelike types to small globose cacti.  The name derives from "echinos" hedgehog or sea urchin, and "opsis" appearance, a reference to these plants' dense coverings of spines. The Intercontinental Cup, also known as European/South American Cup, and also Toyota Cup from 1980 to 2004 for commercial reasons by agreement with the automaker, was an official international football competition endorsed by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and the Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CONMEBOL), contested between representative clubs from these confederations, usually the winners of the European Champions' Cup (now known as the UEFA Champions League), and the South American Copa Libertadores.  The competition has since been replaced by the FIFA Club World Cup. Derlis Ramón Ayala Sanchez (born 7 January 1990 in Ciudad del Este) is a Paraguayan Long Distance runner.
