The aardvark is not closely related to the pig ; rather, it is the sole recent representative of the obscure mammalian order Tubulidentata, in which it is usually considered to form one variable species of the genus Orycteropus, the sole surviving genus in the family Orycteropodidae.

Thelymitra is an example of a genus where the lower petal is similar in appearance to the other petals.

Blandfordia is the only genus in the family Blandfordiaceae, with four species distributed in eastern Australia.

The genus Cyanastrum is sometimes placed in its own family Cyanastraceae.

The most conspicuous genus in the family is Aloe.

Agapanthus, native to South Africa, is the sole genus of the subfamily.

For example, Pyrethrum ( refers to several Old World plants of the genus Chrysanthemum ) is a natural insecticide with minimal environmental impact.

Wormwood, a genus that includes the sagebrush, is used as a source of flavoring for absinthe, a bitter classical liquor of European origin.

The subfamily name is derived from the generic name of the type genus, Allium.

Allieae contains only one genus Allium ( Milula is merged with Allium in the latest systems ).

The Latin name ' Asteraceae ' is derived from the type genus Aster, which is a Greek term, meaning " star ".

The name is derived from the type genus Apium, which was originally used by Pliny the Elder circa 50 AD for a celery-like plant.

Within the genus Prunus, it is classified with the peach in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated shell ( endocarp ) surrounding the seed.

Ardipithecus is a fossil hominoid, described by its discoverers as a very early hominin genus.

Albertosaurus (; meaning " Alberta lizard ") is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 70 million years ago.

The type species, A. sarcophagus, was apparently restricted in range to the modern-day Canadian province of Alberta, after which the genus is named.

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.

The behavior of Paranthropus was quite different from that of the genus Homo, in that it was not as adaptable to its environment or as resourceful.

None of these examples is quite as remarkable as the wasp genus Megarhyssa, the females of which have a slender ovipositor ( terebra ) several inches long that is used to drill into the wood of tree trunks.

Some have diverged from the mainstream of the genus to the extent that they are quite isolated genetically and are able to be recognised by only a few relatively invariant characteristics.

The fossil record of the genus Cygnus is quite impressive, although allocation to the subgenera is often tentative ; as indicated above, at least the early forms probably belong to the C. olor-Southern Hemisphere lineage, whereas the Pleistocene taxa from North America would be placed in Olor.

In the tropics, it is quite common to find that Ficus is the most species-rich plant genus in a particular forest.

However, considerable human encephalization began quite late in the development of the genus Homo, long after the development of bipedalism.

However, they are quite unrelated and instead close to a Southeast Asian genus, Mulleripicus and Chrysocolaptes, respectively.

: Some hermit crab species live on land and may be found quite some distance from the sea, including those in the tropical genus Coenobita.

Notable exceptions are the relatively large members of the genus Campylorhynchus, which can be quite bold in their behavior.

Aspidistra is a genus that has been ignored by field botanists until quite recently, and there has been a very rapid rise in the number of recognised species in recent years.

On the other hand, the genus then becomes quite large and ill-defined, and Bubo in the expanded sense seems to consist of two distinct clades.

They are quite distinct from the Northern Hemisphere plant known as flax ( Linum usitatissimum ), but the genus was given the common name ' flax ' by Anglophone Europeans as it too could be used for its fibres.

Species in this genus can be quite different, which has led to a recent recommendation in the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History to split the genus, a recommendation that has been rejected ( in part ) by many taxonomists ( see Pauly et al., 2004, Evolution 58: 2517 – 2535 ; Pauly et al., 2009, Herpetologica 65: 115-128 ).

Compared to the other members of its genus, the white-tipped tail is quite long.

The Yellow-breasted Pipit, if it is retained in this genus, is quite atypical in having bright yellow plumage on the throat breast and belly.

Some species in this genus have quite large natural distributions, one, the Grey-headed Chickadee, is distributed from Scandinavia to Alaska and Canada.

A fossil acrocoracoid from the Late Miocene ( about 11 mya ) of Rudabánya ( NE Hungary ) is quite similar to this bone in the present genus ( Bernor et al.

Notably, one of the few conclusions beyond genus level which received quite robust support in Cibois ( 2003a ) was the distinctness of Sylvia and the related " babblers " from the Timaliidae sensu stricto.

* The Java sparrow ( Padda or Lonchura oryzivora ) is a very modified species from genus Lonchura: bigger size than the rest of Lonchura species, and a noticeable and quite different head pattern.

Like most geckos of the genus Phelsuma, this species is quite silent.

Prey species may be quite diverse, including pigeons and doves, pheasants, partridges, grouse, gulls, assorted waders, woodpeckers, corvids, waterfowl ( mostly tree-nesting varieties such as the Aythya genus ) and various passerines depending on the region.

Probably quite close to Paracontias and possibly Androngo trivittatus, it belongs to a major clade which does not seem to include the type genus Scincus.

Probably quite close to Pamelaescincus gardineri, it belongs to a major clade which does not seem to include the type genus Scincus.

Probably quite close to Amphiglossus and possibly Androngo trivittatus, it belongs to a major clade which does not seem to include the type genus Scincus.
