|discussion=<p>L. D. Benson (1982) grouped all large, yellow-spined plants in the Texas region under <i>Opuntia</i> lindheimeri. Plants known as O. lindheimeri var. lehmannii have large, wavy stem segments that are broader than long. <i>Opuntia</i> lindheimeri <i></i>var.<i> tricolor</i> (Griffiths) L. D. Benson is a morphotype with long, yellow spines to 75 mm; and O. subarmata Griffiths is a morphotype with spineless or nearly spineless stems.</p><!--
--><p>Although <i>Opuntia engelmannii </i>var.<i> lindheimeri</i> is a hexaploid, like the rest of O. engelmanni, several individuals were recorded as 2n = 22, 44, and ca. 44; however, such numbers require taxon verification.</p><!--
--><p><i>Opuntia engelmannii </i>var.<i> lindheimeri</i> hybridizes with <i>O. stricta</i>, forming hexaploid O. ×alta Griffiths, and with <i>O. macrorhiza</i> Engelmann, forming pentaploid O. ×edwardsii V. E. Grant & K. A. Grant.</p>
