skopjecollection said:opuntia dillenii?
I definitely think it looks the most similar to O. dillenii, but I feel it still could be O. littoralis or even engelmanni like you said, it's very difficult to differentiate these species. Does anyone know some sort of resource that clearly states the differences between these species? For exemple I just read online recently that the only supposed difference between O. stricta and O. dillenii is the average number of spines per areole is more than 3, but even then most example photos of O. stricta show a lot of areoles with more than 4 spines. Also the way the fruit forms on this on this cacti is pretty strange, maybe its because they are infertile? Or could it be a trait of the species/variety? IDK
