|discussion=<p>A dominant cholla of the Chihuahuan Desert, <i>Cylindropuntia imbricata </i>var.<i> imbricata</i> is wide- ranging and variable in several characters; it is generally shorter and more spiny northward (there often referred to as <i>Opuntia</i> arborescens). The species appears to be spreading northeastward in Oklahoma and Kansas as a result of cattle ranching activities. In Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico, <i></i>var.<i> imbricata</i> intergrades with <i>C. spinosior</i>. Northward, <i></i>var.<i> imbricata</i> hybridizes with <i>C. whipplei</i> (= C. ×viridiflora).</p>
