Description: Opuntia dillenii (Ker Gawler, 1818) - common prickly-pear cactus in the Bahamas. Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago). The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction. Opuntia cactuses (see above photo) consist of upright stacks of fleshy, subcircular to elongated segments covered with long, slender, sharp spines. This species’ natural distribution is Caribbean-area islands, Florida, and Mexico.

Reproduces by seed and from branch segments. Segments flattened, covered with clumps of short tufts of hair and occasionally 1 spine in the axils of short-lived scale leaves. Flowers are pale yellow, forming pear shaped, purple to red fruit. Seeds germinate year-round. First flowers develop when plants are at least 3 years old. A native of tropical & subtropical America, it grows well in both exposed and semi-shaded situations. Adapted to a broad range of soil types and widespread especially in NSW and Qld. Dispersed by segments attaching to animals and machinery. Viable seeds spread in the droppings of birds, foxes and other animals. Invasive pest species that can threaten grazing and agriculture on productive land. Biological control is the most effective control method. There are two agents - cactoblastis (Cactoblastis cactorum) and cochineal (Dactylopius opuntiae), which are more active in dry, warm areas of the state. Other control methods include ploughing, burning and chemical application. Date: 21 July 2014, 19:11. Source: Opuntia stricta var stricta flower1.
