Rounded bushy plant, i to 2 meters high; joints orbicular to obovate, 12 to 20 cm. long, rather pale bluish green; areoles remote, large, filled with brown wool; spines usually 3 to 6 but sometimes more, somewhat spreading, acicular, yellow with brown or reddish bases, to 4 cm. long; glochids numerous, large, i cm. long or more, yellowish, not forming a brush; flowers 5 to 6 cm. long, yel- lowish with reddish centers ; upper areoles on the ovary bearing long bristles ; stigma-lobes green ; fruit, globular, about 4 cm. in diameter, purple; seeds numerous, small, 4 mm. in diamter. Type locality: Described from specimen in Cambridge Botanic Garden, England. Distribution: Very common in the States of San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, and Hidalgo, Mexico. Opuntia chrysacantha (Berger, Hort. Mortol. 231. 1912, name only), an undescribed species, probably belongs here. Our determination of the identity of 0. cantabrigiensis and 0. cuija is based on a living plant of the former received from Mr. Lynch. Illustrations: N. Mex. Agr. Exp. Sta.
