Brookesia minima, (common names of which include the dwarf chameleon, the Madagascan dwarf chameleon,[2] the minute leaf chameleon,[3] and the Nosy Be pygmy leaf chameleon), is a diminutive chameleon that was regarded as the smallest lizard[4] of the Chamaeleonidae until a smaller species, Brookesia nana, was described in 2021.
