* Bracketed OL-systems: these systems are deterministic and context free. The use of bracket notation allows the use of a stack that can remember and return to previous locations and headings. | * Bracketed OL-systems: these systems are deterministic and context free.

* Stochastic OL-systems: these systems are also context free but not deterministic. Rather than using a single mapping from predecessor to replacement string, these systems allow multiple replacements strings each with a probability of selection. | * Stochastic OL-systems: these systems are also context free but not deterministic.

To trigger replacement the context prior to and after the strict-predecessor must also match. Such systems can simulate the transmission of signals up and down the resulting tree. |
* Parametric OL-systems: these systems add one or more floating point quantities within parenthesis to one or more letters creating a predecessor word. In addition a test is applied to the corresponding quantity. Such systems allow the creation of non-quantized lengths for stem segments. | * Parametric OL-systems: these systems add one or more floating point quantities within parenthesis to one or more letters creating a predecessor word.
