|discussion=<p>L. D. Benson (1969) segregated plants of the southern Arizona populations, which are less robust than the others, as “<i>Opuntia</i> stanlyi var. peeblesiana;” unfortunately he included with its type other specimens that belong to <i>Grusonia kunzei</i>. Diploid plants of <i>G. parishii</i> have spineless (but glochidate) fruits; tetraploid plants of <i>G. kunzei</i> have spiny and glochidate fruits.</p>
