Yes, provided that are not in the same kingdom. So, you can have animals and plants and fungi sharing the name. Araceae has an example Hapale (a syn of Hapaline) and also a genus of marmoset.

Subject: [Aroid-l] Dracunculus and Dracunculus

 

Hello,

 

While searching the web for documents I found something that made me scared.

Besides Dracunculus vulgaris and Dracunculus canariense, which we almost all heard about,

I found a document mentioning different species of Dracunculus which are... Nematodes:

 

Is it admissible for two quite different unrelated taxa to bear the same generic name?

 

???

Marek
