The genus Leptochilus occurs as a genus of wasps, and of a genus of ferns.

What are the parts of the phylogenetic tree where uniqueness is required, and how many of them are they?

(Where can I read about this, without reading all the individual standards?)

    Does this answer your question? What instances are there in which two species share the same binomial name? – kmm Jan 12 '24 at 19:00
  • Thank you! Yet no. If the person who asks is correct, an alternative formulation of my question is: What kingdoms exist with respect to nomenclature? Obviously plants and animals, but what about fungi - different from animals as witnessed by Asterina gibbosa, but are they among the plants? What about diaphoretickes? Bacteria? Viruses? I only find special articles, no overview. Ah, and I assume that uniqueness is already at genus level, not binomial. (Both is interesting of course.) – Falko Jan 12 '24 at 19:24

  • Ups. Diaphoretickes contains plants of course. I intended to mention Stramenopiles. – Falko Jan 12 '24 at 20:57

    @BryanKrause Yes, so we have n kingdoms, where n = 2 ... 8 :-) – Falko Jan 13 '24 at 15:25
  • @Falko there are few instances where a systematist might confuse an animal with a plant etc., so uniqueness should only need to extend to kingdom. – bob1 Jan 13 '24 at 21:43
  • Here https://biology.stackexchange.com/a/73452/63850 Karl Kjer mentions, that animals, plants, and bacteria have their own independent nomenclatural codes. This seems to settle it. (I'm still reading though.) – Falko Jan 14 '24 at 18:25
