Opuntia repens, the roving pricklypear,[1] is a species of cactus that is native to dry forests Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Description
It is a small shrub, growing up to 50 cm (20 in) tall, with yellow flowers and red fruit.[2] Like its cousins, "jumping cholla" Opuntias of the Mojave, Sonoran, and Colorado deserts, it propagates by a segment dislodging after spines are caught in a large mammal's fur, whereby the segment is transported to another location.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". This is in addition to propagation by seed.
