Differing from C. flava in having some of the leaves with larger lobes, and 

 some of the spines larger. The flowers are sparingly produced, amongst dense 

 tufts of leaves ; and the fruit, which is green when ripe, is still less abundant. 

 It is pear-shaped, and very different from that of every other kind of Cratae v gus, 

 except C. flava and C. f. trilobata.
