    1. Reviewed by Lee Dittmann    May 26, 2011

    Action: changed name from "Opuntia echinocarpa" to "Cylindropuntia acanthocarpa "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "Per The Jepson Desert Manual, this image shows tubercles with a length > 3x width (rather than < 2x) and filaments reddish (rather than green), which makes it Opuntia acanthocarpa rather than O. echinocarpa. Per Flora of North America, the genus has been transferred to Cylindropuntia."
