It is my understanding that the Int Commission for zoological & botanical nomenclature are separate but run on similar rules. Or that is what I was taught about 38 years ago in university. And no I have not researched this recently. I don’t think it is an issue of Linné’s systematics are not 100% perfect! There isn’t an expectation that they are, at least in that regard. Thus I have known that there are several examples of this, although the one I have thought of over the years is Chloris. Whilst John started with the suggestion of typos, At least I fixed the typos in John’s header.

The genus Eremophila has been used twice (Emu-bushes [bot.] and Horned Larks [orn.]). Same applies for Prunella (Self-heals [bot.] and Accentors [orn.]), Pityriasis (skin rash [med.] and Bornean Bristlehead [orn.]), Icterus (jaundice [med.] and New World Orioles [orn.]) and certainly some others… Linné’s systematics are not 100% perfect!

This must be a typo as Eremophila is the genus for “Emu-bush” here in Australia.
