| I don't think so. How big is it and where did it come from? Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost Webmaster: osnnv.org |

| With 80% certainty, ill say no. Fragilis has spines, wrinkles, and even if it is a spineless variant, it have purple rings around the areoles which are also more numerous... and fruits arent so smooth. Looks like a chain fruit from a dilenni or something. Or a chain fruit cholla(cylindropuntia sp.)? |

| I know it's not a cholla because I have multiple of those. It's definitely a mystery. |

This is Opuntia fragilis: But remember, Opuntia are one of those plants that hybridizes so freely that every area has its own version. This is the Nevada version.
