Conservation status: Listed in CITES appendix 2.

The polytomy is a particular form of cristation in which an apex divides in numerous new apexes. If apex divides in two we have the common dichotomy. These particular forms of cristation give origin to individuals each different to an other. The obtainable features are very various and beautiful. Some plants are really spectacular. Some plants have both crested and polytomic stems.
