Opuntia echinocarpa, Engelm. & Bigel. A low, spreading shrub, with reticulate woody skeleton, rarely more than 1¼ ft- high: joints 1½-3 in. long, rarely 4-6 in., ¾ in. thick, somewhat clavate: areoles with short white wool and a few coarse, straw-colored bristles, spines very variable in length and number, exterior 8-16, 1¼ in. or less long; interior usually 4, forming a cross, 1-1½ in. long, with loose white or straw-colored sheaths: fls. greenish yellow, 1¼-1¾ in. wide: fr. depressed-globose or hemispherical and armed with many long (1-1½ in.) spines on the upper areoles. Utah, Ariz., and Calif.—The fr. of this species, like most others with dry fr., ripens in the early summer, while most species with fleshy fr. do not mature them until fall or the following spring.
