Opuntia chlorotica is a shrub (stem succulent) that is native to California, and also found elsewhere in western North America.
[Wikipedia] Range, Prehistoric Range: It is a species of prickly pear native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Some analysis of the prehistoric range of O. chlorotica has been conducted by studies in the Waterman Mountains of Arizona; these pollen core analyses indicate that this cactus species was present in northern Arizona in late Wisconsinan glaciation period.
