This genus is of great interest since it contains thale cress ( Arabidopsis thaliana ), one of the model organisms used for studying plant biology and the first plant to have its entire genome sequenced.

Magnolia subgenus Magnolia can not be renamed because it contains Magnolia virginiana, the type species of the genus and of the family.

Panthera is a genus of the family Felidae ( cats ), which contains four well-known living species: the tiger, the lion, the jaguar, and the leopard.

The family consists of a single genus Xeronema with two species, one found only on the Poor Knights islands in New Zealand and the other in New Caledonia.

In Central and South America, the alligator family is represented by five species of the genus Caiman, which differs from the alligator by the absence of a bony septum between the nostrils, and the ventral armour is composed of overlapping bony scutes, each of which is formed of two parts united by a suture.

Formerly, Sauer ( 1955 ) classified the genus into two subgenera, differentiating only between monoecious and dioecious species: Acnida ( L .) Aellen ex K. R.

At the time both South African and South American plants were placed in the same genus ; subsequently they were separated into two different genera.

Confusion between the two pathogens ' life-cycles led him to briefly recognize his genus Schizotrypanum, but following the description of Pneumocystis by others as an independent genus, Chagas returned to the use of the name Trypanosoma cruzi.

A genus – differentia definition is a type of intensional definition, and it is composed by two parts:

Elephants are large land mammals in two extant genera of the family Elephantidae: Elephas and Loxodonta, with the third genus Mammuthus extinct.

Those definitions can be expressed as one genus and two differentiae:
