About
Cylindropuntia bernardina is a species of cholla cactus commonly known as the cane cholla or valley cholla, native to California and northwestern Baja California. It is an erect cholla that grows up to 2-3 meters tall, and occurs primarily in the foothills of the Transverse and Peninsular Ranges, with a few populations around the Cuyama River. It was formerly placed as Cylindropuntia californica var. parkeri, until it was renamed to C. bernardina after taxonomic analyses.
