Variegated or Virus in Pachypodium seedlings
I have seen some images of what is called a variegation but this batch of seedlings seems a bit over the top, and might be a virus?

They all look healthy to me. Where did you buy the seeds and were they sold as non-variegated and a specific species?

The two things do not have to be mutually exclusive. The variegated cultivars of a number of garden plants such as Abutilon are due to virus infection.

Re: Variegated or Virus in Pachypodium seedlings
the seeds came from the Cactus and Succulent Society of America just recently. I can order some seed for you if you want them...
We'll see how they grow.

Re: Variegated or Virus in Pachypodium seedlings

most plant virus can't transmit via seed.
theoretically the seedling should be healthy.
