Cristation
The term cristation (or
fasciation) describe a plant in which the growing tip is malformed
due to unusual development of the
apical meristem. A cactus becomes crested
when its
apex develops laterally from an elongate
meristem rather than a single point. Fasciation is common among
vascular plants, being found in over 100 plant
families and in more than 50
genera of cacti and succulents.
