Opuntia erinacea (syn. O. polyacantha var. erinacea).Referred to also as Grizzly bear pricklypear.Should not be confused with O. erinacea as treated historically by Benson (and Welsh who basically still follows Benson with respect to Opuntia). Should be treated at the species level rather than as a variety.In Utah, it only occurs in the southwestern corner of the state (and its Utah distribution as indicated in Intermountain Flora Vol 2A is not accurate, which is also true for some other Opuntia species as well); also occurs in Arizona, Nevada and California.May 4, 1985, Snow Canyon, Washington Canyon, Utah.Scanned from a slide.

Opuntia phaeacantha (varieties are not currently recognized), known also as Tulip pricklypear and Brown-spined pricklypear. Few plants of this species at this location. Herbivory observed on some pricklypear plants. Some other nearby plants showing evidence of hybridization, probably with O. nicholii. The lower portion of the cladodes (pads) typically are spineless. The areoles are also spaced apart quite widely compared to dry-fruited species. In age, the glochids become quite robust and the pads tend to become somewhat more spineless and spines more white-gray. Spines clusters at the upper ends of the pad typically have more than one central spine, often three or four. The spines on the sides of the cladodes tend to be deflexed. Flowers usually profusely alone the upper edge of prior year growth and some of those can emerge from just below the edge of the pad and that character can sometimes be useful in helping to identify this species (which seems to be often overlooked in general wildflower and similar books despite it being fairly widespread in southern Utah, and in some places, locally common). Flower color highly variable, fruit and seed characteristics however can be diagnostic.April 10, 2016, Garfield County, Head of the Rocks overlook area, Grand Staircase Escalante National Monment (GSENM), 6,160 ft. elev. (approx. 1880 m).
