Purple Prickly Pear Cactus - Opuntia violacea v. santa rita
Is an erect, bushy succulent shrub to 2 m high and 3 m wide with a distinct, though short trunk. It a very attractive species with reddish or violet-purple pads. Small plants seem to be the most colourful. The yellow flowers are stunning on the purple pads in spring, definitely an eye-catcher.
Stem segments: Round, ovate or obovate sometimes broader than long, not easily detached, 5-20 cm across, thin, nearly smooth, glabrous, glaucous blue-green, when under stress with reddish or violet-purple colouring around the areoles and along the edge; this colouring is more pronounced during winter.
Areoles: 6-8(-9) per diagonal row across midstem segment, oval to round, sometimes reniform, c. 3 mm in diameter when young, but increasing with age to about 6 mm, 1.5-2.5 cm apart. The new areoles bear much wool and many short glochids up to 6 mm long. They are yellow to tannish brown in colour dense in crescent at adaxial edge of areole, nearly encircling areoles, and in subapical tuft, of even height. The growth of the wool and glochids on old stem pads sometimes produces an elongation of the areole structure outward.
