Whats the difference between this and the single comb?

 

[Lothiriel]

The difference between single and carnation combs is the carnation has a side sprig on each side -- there at the back. (You can see in the picture the little point sticking sideways.)

This is Joss, our Wheaten Penedesenca cockerel at around 5 months of age. He's a good boy and we love him!

Whats the difference between this and the single comb?

Here is the standard for carnation comb or kings crest:
Rooster
Simple, mildly large, upright, flat, with five or six plain short peaks, with the last and the first smaller than the central ones. The rear spur, with an arched base has a tendency to toward the back of the neck without touching it and with appendixes to each side of the posterior. The comb, viewed from behind, must resemble a flower.
Hen
Simple, mildly big, with five or six points, very definite and jagged, fall toward a side of the face and with appendixes like in the rooster.

It's normally more than one sprig to each side.
I'm photographing as we speak.
