Botanical Name: Cylindropuntia Scorpionis
Common Names: Scorpions Cholla
Alternate Botanical Names: n/a
Visual Characteristics: Spines are long, radial, and intermittent, branching habits dense and numerous, traits reminiscent of Cylindropuntia Ramosissima. Pronounced tubercles, branching habit, and tendency for segments to droop are similar to C. Fulgida. Segment thickness, flowers, and fruits exhibit characteristics in between the two hypothesized parents.

Native To 29 Palms: Yes
Native To Adjacent Regions: Yes
Native To Adjacent Regions: Yes
Occurance In Neighborhoods: Rare
Occurance In Rural Areas: Rare
Use by Indigenous Cultures: This specific hybrid is assumed to be a newer development and might have come to life after the establishment of 29 Palms as a town. However, there is abundant information on native cultures and their use of other Cylindropuntia.

Sentiments: Transforming the casual eye into those that can differentiate a few Cholla species can take months of immersive observation, and often revision of taxonomic notions.
