Opuntia bigelovii (Cylindropuntia)
Much has been witten about O. bigelovii because of its uniquely spiny nature and apparent homogenous appearance (Wikipedia article; Flora of North America online; Rebman and Pinkava, 2001).
Read an early description of O. bigelovii. O. fosbergii is a taxon that is closely related to O. bigelovii.
