[Abstract] The major and minor forms eommon to granite (and related erystalline lithologies) and to daeite, sandstone and limestone are listed and briefly deseribed. Faetors eondueive to lithologie eonvergenee (the development ofthe same form in different materials) are identified. The importanee of elimatie faetors in the development of granite landforms, is diseussed, and examples of elimatie eonvergenee (1andforms due to similar meehanisms but driven by different elimatieally eontrolled proeesses) are given. Sorne eonelusions on the importanee ofgranite landform evolution in general geomorphologieal theory are suggested
