Pereskiopsis (like Pereskia). Cacticeae. Opuntia- like plants grown for ornament and curiosity. Trees and shrubs: sts. and branches cylindrical: lvs. large, flat, and persistent: areoles bearing spines and glochids: fr. usually red: seeds covered with matted hairs. This genus, lately segregated from Opuntia, where recent writers have placed it. is very different from Opuntia in many ways, and resembles more closely in habit and foliage the genus Pereskia, although it is very different in fr. and seeds from that genus.— Eleven species have been recognized, of which 9 are now grown in Washington and in the New York Botanical Garden, although none is known in the trade. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
