The Engelmann's Pricklypear

"Opuntia engelmannii" is a prickly pear common across the south-central and Southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The nomenclatural history of this species is somewhat complicated due to the varieties, as well as its habit of hybridizing with "Opuntia phaeacantha".
