The most common culinary species is the Indian fig opuntia ("O. ficus-indica"). DNA analysis indicated "O. ficus-indica" was domesticated from "Opuntia" species native to central Mexico. Connecticut has one native cactus (Opuntia humifusa), found in sandy coastal areas and low hillsides. Animals that eat "Opuntia" include the prickly pear island snail and "Cyclura" rock iguanas. The moth selects its host by detecting CAM production in "Opuntia" cacti. These peccaries feed on various species of cacti, such as "Cleistocactus baumannii" and "Opuntia discolor". Cacti like "Melocactus" and "Opuntia" are represented on Aruba by species like "Opuntia stricta". Some botanists treat this cactus as a variety of "Opuntia compressa"&colon; hence "Opuntia compressa" var. Consequently, the whole of the island is covered in shrubland, grassland and "Opuntia" cacti. The young stem segments, usually called "nopales", are also edible in most species of "Opuntia". It is usually closely associated with the cactus "Opuntia". In 1812 he introduced the species in the genus Opuntia. "Opuntia" hybridizes readily between species. In 1754, the Scottish botanist Philip Miller divided them into several genera, including "Opuntia". Though larger, the genus "Opuntia" is less popular with gardeners and landscapers.
