By V. Mataora and R. Bourdeix, in construction
Three varieties of Compact Red Dwarf were found in the Cook Islands by R. Bourdeix and V. Mataora in 2018. It seems there is at least another one, but it was much more difficult to classify, so we did not include it in the illustrations (stem looking like a Compact Dwarf, but leaves looking as the Papua Dwarfs). These three varieties have all the strong characteristics of both thick stem and wide leaflets found in Compact Dwarfs.
