I've never seen anything like it. Could you get some closer up photos of the leaves?

It is difficult to see the leaves but I wonder if it could be a type of Pereskia?

Is that real? It looks almost like a piece of plastic. I've never seen anything like it either.

This request for ID is from May 30, 2012 and a duplicate thread was posted here The thread "Cactus Name" in Cactus and Succulents forum on the same day. The plant was identified as Brazilian Pricklypear (Brasiliopuntia brasiliensis)

Maybe one of our administrators @zuzu, @Calif_Sue can mark this as *identified*.
