The Mlanje Mountain chameleon, ''Nadzikambia mlanjensis'', is one of two species in the genus ''Nadzikambia'' (derived from the species' name in Chichewa). It is a plesiomorphic, small chameleon from the Ruo Gorge forest on Mount Mulanje in Malawi. Initially placed into ''Chamaeleo'', it was for some time moved to the South African dwarf chameleons (''Bradypodion'') by some (Klaver & Böhme, 1986). This was criticized because plesiomorphies cannot be used to define clades, and eventually turned out to be in error.〔Tolley, Krystal A.; Tilbury, Colin R. & Branch, William R.
