This list is an attempt to gather all the information about abnormal forms of growth of succulent plants (except Cactea)

We tried to consider the most frequent of abnormal forms, namely crested and monstrous. Definitions will be given in the final version of the list. We are going to place the information concerning other forms of abnormal growth (like dichotomy and others) and materials on variegated forms of non-cacti succulents into a special appendix.

Working on the preliminary list we used the material of private collections, publications, plant-lists of commercial companies, the data from Internet and confirmed reports of specialists and collectors.

There are certain difficulties in such work. Plant collectors are not united, there is lack of specialized literature and exchange of information.

Another problem is inaccuracy of labeling. It is also difficult to distinguish similar species (especially on photos and reproductions). Finally photos themselves lack. The latter is a common case when many plant-lists are published. It hampers to make analytical work with them. This can justify the fact that the list is incomplete and imperfect.

Now the Preliminary list is just a list, not a catalog or a project of illustrated book, though we form the bank of photos simultaneously.

Today the list contains 00 species, including 00 monstrous and 00 crested forms. We hope it will increase.

The main part of the list contains most of known to us crested and monstrous forms of succulents. As we go on working on the list in the current version crested and monstrous forms are not divided – to make it more convenient to orient yourself. In final version this part will consist of two sections. But already now unusual conventional monstrous forms

Liliaceae are singled out into Supplement. A short section Appendix seems to be void of popular scientific and cognitive sense and is rather to amuse readers showing how freely the authors deal with settled terminology.

Both in sections and in the Main part material is organized in alphabetic order of botanic genera. Inside genera species and cultivars are given as a single list, hybrids are placed at the end (the latter refers to gen. Echeveria).

Description includes a link to an available species of the plant (if there are no obstacles to it), a link to where it is mentioned (alas, very often it is the same plant-list) and finally a link to a picture (if the publication is found).

We will be grateful for any corrections, comments and additions. We will be interested both in new non-typical forms, not mentioned in the list and in information about mentioned forms kept in collections. The names of owners will be indicated (if they want them to be).

The section Thanks will open (or close) the list.
