DescriptionEdit description
Note
The name is due to the almost cylindrical cladodes.
Flowers
Rich orange pollinated by the hummingbird.
Areoles
This species has glochids as any other opuntioid, but the glochids are sunken in the areoles and are mostly unnoticeable - they do not come out if you touch the plant.
