Abstract: This work continues the theme started in the article “Discrete lattices on the single bearing spiral. Geometry to Botany”, to be published in the volume Complex Symmetries. Both articles are devoted to the spiral lattices (SL) – a specific type of symmetry of the organic objects. SL are formed by the elements (leaves, seeds, details of mollusc shells, etc.), regularly located on the single bearing spiral. Present work is focused on the filling of the classification table, proposed in the first article, that is, on the search and description of natural and other objects with discrete spiral lattices.
