The following is a list of triple
tautonyms:
zoological names of species consisting of three identical words (the
generic name, the
specific name and the
subspecies have the same spelling). Such names are allowed in
zoology, but not in
botany, where the generic and specific epithets of a species must differ (though differences as small as one letter are permitted, as in
cumin, Cuminum cyminum).
