List of tautonyms
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of tautonyms - taxonomic names in which the genus and species names are exactly the same. These are allowed in zoology, but not in botany, where the genus and species names must differ (though differences as small as one letter are permitted, as in the Jujube Ziziphus zizyphus).
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
