This is a report on a family of varieties of algebraic systems that are groups with an additional unary operation satisfying certain laws. The study was inspired by the theory of Fibonacci groups, and the free one-generator algebras of our varieties turn out to have, in fact, the abelianized Fibonnaci groups as their underlying groups.
