Prickly pear cactus information. Prickly pear cactus represent about a dozen species of the Opuntia genus (Family Cactaceae) in the North American deserts.All have flat, fleshy pads that look like large leaves. The pads are actually modified branches or stems that serve several functions -- water storage, photosynthesis and flower production.
Opuntia is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae. Currently, only prickly pears (also known as nopal or nopales; see below) are included in this genus of about 200 species distributed throughout most of the Americas. Chollas are now separated into the genus Cylindropuntia, which some still consider a subgenus of Opuntia.
Opuntia rufida; Opuntia aurea; 6. Cholla Cactus. The cholla cactus is a unique and quirky little cactus plant that grows in jointed segments attached to a main trunk.

Opuntia vulgaris, a species native to Tunisia, is widely distributed on the centre and the South of Tunisia, and its fruits are an first-class beginning of antioxidants. The ameliorating effects of O. vulgaris fruit infusion ( OE ) was evaluated against methanol-induced hematologic and biochemical toxicity in rats.
Plant Adaptations: Introduction and Ecological Classification of Plants.. Epiphytes are not included in the above classification because of the fact that they do not have permanent connection with the soil. Warming’s second classification (1909) of the plants is based on their water relations.. as for example, in Ulex, Opuntia.
Opuntia, also known as nopales (see below), or Paddle Cactus from the resemblance to the ball-and-paddle toy, is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae. Currently, only prickly pears are included in this genus of about 200 (1) species distributed throughout most of the Americas.Chollas are now separated into the genus Cylindropuntia, which some still consider a subgenus of Opuntia.
The cactus and its uses. Cacti are prickly, and pleasing. Extremely ungainly, they flourish in arid conditions where no plant will survive. Succulent inside, their thick coats and nettles ensure predators cannot get to the sap inside, sap the plants literally collect in drops off the moisture in the air.
