An animation illustrating the anagram between the Euphorbiaceae genus names Joannesia and Annesijoa

List of taxa named by anagrams.

In the biological nomenclature codes, an anagram can be used to name a new taxon. A taxonomic anagram is therefore a new taxon name constructed from rearranging the letters of an existing name.

Wordplays are one source of inspiration allowing organisms to receive scientific names.[1] In the binominal nomenclature, as scientists have latitude in naming genera and species, a taxon name can therefore be an anagram, provided it remains pronounceable.[2] For example, in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, a new generic name can be taken from the name of a person by using an anagram or abbreviation of it.[3]

William Elford Leach was among the first naturalists to use taxonomic anagrams, and, in 1818, he described several isopod genera that were each other's anagrams of 'Caroline' : Conilera, Lironeca, Nerocila, Olencira, and Rocinela.[1]
