'''''Tephrocactus articulatus''''' is a species of [[cactus]] in the subfamily [[Opuntioideae]] of the Cactaceae family of plants. They tend to grow branches up to one foot tall with white flowers. Propagation is usually through cuttings. Stem segments easily break away and will root without special treatment. Plants may also be grown from seeds.
They originate in [[Argentina]], but are cultivated in outdoor landscaping in warm desert climates such as [[Phoenix, Arizona]].
Common varieties within the species include var. ''inermis'' ("Spruce cone cactus") and var. ''papyracanthus'' ("Paper Spine Cholla Cactus").
