Here are some examples that I found online (Google search for 
'botanical nomenclature' AND 'zoological nomenclature)):

   Aotus (pea, or monkey) 
   Bartramia (moss, or sandpiper) 
   Cannabis L. (hemp) or Cannabis Blyth, 1850 (bird) 
   Cecropia (tree, or moth) 
   Cereus (cactus, or sea anemone) 
   Colocasia (taro, or tussock moth) 
   Culcita (tree fern, or echinoderm) 
   Darwiniella (orchid, or barnacle) 
   Dugesia (composite, or flatworm) 
   Ficus (fig, or gastropod) 
   Leptonia (toadstool (now usu. a subgenus of Entoloma), or rove beetle) 
   Oenanthes (water celery, or bird) 
   Pieris (Japanese andromeda, or butterfly)
