Within the same species there are variations of form and / or color. When these variations exist in nature, they are called subspecies or varieties. The following diagrams help to recognize these variations for the main species: aucampiae, bromfieldii, dinteri, fulviceps, gracilidelineata, hallii, hookeri, julii, karasmontana, lesliei, pseudotruncatella, schwantesii.
When they are the result of selections made in the nursery, they are called cultivars. A special section is dedicated to them, although some are mentioned in some diagrams.
