I�ve come across other examples as well, but this is the only one coming to mind right now. Happy Labor Day.

From: Zach DuFran <zdufran at wdtinc.com> on 2010.09.07 at 15:28:22(21411) Another example is the genus Heliconia, which applies to butterflies which feast on Passionflowers (Passiflora), and also applies to the a tropical genus in the Zingerberales order, Heliconiaceae family. These are the “False Bird of Paradise” or “Lobster claws” plants, which have very colorful inflorescences. The Heliconia butterfly genus is now being called Heliconius, so that helps a little bit.

From: Johannes Moonen <emeraldjunglevillage at wanadoo.fr> on 2010.09.08 at 10:06:35(21418) Dear Zach, as you said Heliconius is a genus of beautifull butterflies that merely feed on certain species of Passiflora. Heliconia is a SA genus of about 200 species of very nice terrestrial plants with beautifull flowers. Some species are grown allover the tropics because of their durable flowers and restistance agains insect appetire.

From: Peter Boyce <phymatarum at googlemail.com> on 2010.09.11 at 04:27:43(21440) 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. P.
