Opuntia phaeacantha, Engelm. A diffuse, semi-prostrate, plant. 1-2 ft. high, and freely rooting from lower margin of joints: joints broadly obovate, moderately thick. 4-6 in. long: areoles about 1 in. apart, with short wool and reddish or brownish bristles; spines mostly toward margin or on apex of joints, 2-5. straight and stiff, reddish brown to almost black with lighter tips, 1-2½ in. long: fls. 2½ in. broad, yellow: fr. usually long- pyriform, 1 in. or less diam. and twice as long, purple, with greenish acid pulp. S. W. U. S. and Mex. Var. major, Hort., is a good form.—This species and a number of the following become deep purplish green during autumn and winter. In the spring they lose their purplish color to a large extent and take it on again in the fall. The spines are also much darker in winter than in summer.
