The same problem is studied by the authors for the subvariety N n of the nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension n . For n≥7 , N n is reducible and it is proved in this paper that there exists at least one component which does not contain filiform laws. Then the authors give an asymptotic estimation, equal to n/74 , for the number of the components of N n . %~
