Abstract Let V be a variety of associative algebras with involution over a field F of characteristic zero and let c n ⁎ ( V ) , n = 1 , 2 , … , be its ⁎-codimension sequence. Such a sequence is polynomially bounded if and only if V does not contain the commutative algebra F ⊕ F , endowed with the exchange involution, and M, a suitable 4-dimensional subalgebra of the algebra of 4 × 4 upper triangular matrices. Such algebras generate the only varieties of ⁎-algebras of almost polynomial growth, i.e., varieties of exponential growth such that any proper subvariety is polynomially bounded. In this paper we completely classify all subvarieties of the ⁎-varieties of almost polynomial growth by giving a complete list of finite dimensional ⁎-algebras generating them.
