An erect, compact plant, 4-6 ft. high, rarely higher, with fragile woody skeleton which does not appear in joints of the first year's growth, the most densely spine-covered and difficult to handle of the cylindrical opuntias: joints readily detached and forming formidable burs, ovate, short- elliptical to long and cylindrical, with rounded ends, readily breaking from the plant and taking root, pale green, fragile, tumid, terminal ones frequently 3-5 in. long and half as thick: areoles close together, with white wool and pale yellow bristles; spines 10—20, some very small, increasing in number as sts. become older, straw- colored, loose-sheathed, 1 in. or less long, completely hiding the surface of the plant: fls. greenish red, 1 in. broad: fr. very spiny, ovate, 1J4-2 in. long and one- third as wide, few-seeded, mostly sterile.
