List of triple tautonyms
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 two parts of the name of a species must differ (though differences as small as one letter are permitted, as in the jujube (Ziziphus zizyphus)).

gollark: Did you know?
gollark: Sometimes I accidentally appear slightly prescient by splitting statements across multiple lines such that I end up preempting an obvious follow-up question.
gollark: Yes, that sounds quite bad.
