Opuntia dillenii (Ker Gawl.) Haw. accidental escapee? Yes for certain, … No flowers yet ?
it does not flower in wet places. only in deserts, and that too in the heat and when water starved Four species are reported from the plains of Tamilnadu as per details at Opuntia. Is there a key ?
Sorry …, I did not look for any keys.
For all my Puducherry plants, I used this site as a reference: e-flora of Karikal District … scroll among the list of genera, and click on genus Opuntia … it will list of species distributed in the district. In this case, only dillenii is listed.
To me, the plant does look like typical Opuntia dillenii that I have been seeing. Yet I may be mistaking. Please correct me if I am wrong. It is a common plant in Southern India including Karnataka in open fields.

This Opuntia is from Salem, Tamilnadu
I suspect this to be Opuntia dillenii
I request to identify the species. For me the ID is correct. Yes, appears so as per Keys as per Flora of China and Flora of Medak District, Andhra Pradesh, India . Cactaceae: Opuntia stricta var. dillenii L.D.Benson: 2 images- 1 high res.
