My red Iholene has NO red on the leaves at all. The midrib is pinkish but that's about it. I can tell you the my Dwarf Cav has LARGE, dark green, wide, thick leaves and the Red Iholene has light green, long, narrow, not very thick leaves. They are at least twice the length of the DC.

See below pics of both. But as already mentioned, at under a foot, they ALL look the same.
If you want a comparison, look to the right of the Red Iholene. That is a clump of Double Moahi (sp?). That is a variety of Dwarf Cav so their looks and size are identical. The RI and the DM in that same picture are both just a little short of fruiting size.
