On the identity of plants belonging to the "Opuntia humifusa" complex (Cactaceae) naturalized in northeastern Iberian Peninsula

Recent studies on the Opuntia humifusa complex allow us to review the identity of plants called O. humifusa (Raf.) Raf. in Catalonia. All the studied plants of the O. humifusa complex from this area exhibit the same morphological characteristics (mainly the thickness of the spines, the number of are...

Sumario:Recent studies on the Opuntia humifusa complex allow us to review the identity of plants called O. humifusa (Raf.) Raf. in Catalonia. All the studied plants of the O. humifusa complex from this area exhibit the same morphological characteristics (mainly the thickness of the spines, the number of areoles and the seed form) as O. mesacantha Raf. subsp. mesacantha.
