one and more slender than the other. It resembles very closely specimens collected by 

 Dr. Rose at Ixmiquilpan, Mexico, in 1905, which we have referred to 0. kleiniae. 



Optmtia galeottii de Smet (Miquel, Nederl. Kruidk. Arch. 4: 337. 1858) and 0. 

 costigera Miquel (Nederl. Kruidk. Arch. 4 : 338. 1858), if really from Mexico, may belong 

 here, but the descriptions are indefinite. Dr. Schumann did not know them. 



Opuntia mendocienses (Cat. Darrah Succ. Manchester 56. 1908) is said to be "prob- 

 ably only a form of 0. imbricata. " 



Opuntia undulata Link and Otto (Verh. Ver. Beford. Gartenb. 6: 434. 1830) was not 

 published. According to Pfeiffer, it is the same as 0. exuviata, which we refer here. 



Opuntia decipiens minor (Pfeiffer, Enum. Cact. 172. 1837) is unpublished. 



Cactus suhquadrifolius Mocino and Sesse (De CandoUe, Prodr. 3 : 471. 1828) was given 

 as a synonym of Opuntia rosea and therefore belongs here.
