Mostly size, and Rankins have no beard. Rankins get about 12 inches as adults, and normal bearded dragons get around 18-20.

Pogona Henrylawsoni or Lawsons dragon (Rankins as its also called although i beleive the rankins dragon actually is pogona rankini) its smaller in size and has a different pattern to the Pogona Vitticeps or Inland bearded dragon, i also think that it has a bit of a differnt heat requirement with a basking temp in the low 90's instead of the low 100's (105-115) like the inland bearded dragon, not by much, and also doesnt require such a big enclosure. Other then that its very similar to pogona vitticeps.

size, like others had posted, it grows to about 12 inches or so where an adult inland bearded can be double that size
