After the pannus types, the remaining accessory clouds comprise formations that are associated mainly with upward-growing cumuliform and cumulonimbiform clouds of free convection.
Alternatively, some classifications do not recognize a vertical or multi-étage designation for any genus types and include all vertical free-convective cumuliform and cumulonimbiform genera with the low-étage clouds.
Cirrocumulus in its pure form is actually a high cumuliform genus, and cirrostratus is stratiform, like altostratus and lower based sheet clouds.

Low stratocumuliform, stratiform, and cumuliform genera Low-étage clouds are found from near surface up to convert.
