Opuntia tunicata (Cylindropuntia)
O. tunicata is reportedly found from south Texas into Argentina. Such a large reported distribution is unusual for any plant and the question arises "Is O. tunicata a single taxon?" Possible 2 or 3 species (or more) that appear identical are scattered in similar habitats in North and South America, or perhaps the taxon is a single species. Read about O. tunicata in the Flora of North America.
