Cylindropuntia prolifera
Cylindropuntia prolifera occurs in California. However, the Flora or North America reports, Cylindropuntia prolifera is of hybrid origin; it occupies a habitat different from its putative parents, C. alcahes (F. A. C. Weber) F. M. Knuth and C. cholla (F. A. C. Weber) F. M. Knuth, two Mexican species."
C. prolifera has been called the "coastal jumping colla."
