''Opuntia engelmannii'' is a prickly pear common across the south-central and Southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It goes by a variety of common names, including "cow's tongue cactus", "cow tongue prickly pear", "desert prickly pear", "discus prickly pear", "Engelmann's prickly pear", and "Texas prickly pear" in the US, and "nopal", "abrojo", "joconostle", and "vela de coyote" in Mexico.〔( GRIN: ''Opuntia engelmannii'' ) . accessed 3.23.2013〕 The nomenclatural history of this species is somewhat complicated due to the varieties, as well as its habit of hybridizing with ''Opuntia phaeacantha''. ==Distribution== The ''Opuntia engelmannii'' range extends from California to Louisiana in the United States, and from Sonora (state) to the Tamaulipan matorral in Chihuahua (state), in Mexico.〔 In the Sonoran Desert, terminal pads face predominantly east-west, so as to maximize the absorption of solar radiation during summer rains. Although found occasionally in the Mojave Desert, it tends to be replaced by ''Opuntia basilaris'', which does not need the summer rain.
