@davidferguson @najera_tutor Thoughts on this Opuntia sp? Trying to decide whether to clear out or commit old draft swaps, and this one had no discussion whatsoever.
I have not researched the name, so I don't have an opinion on it. I will try to find out more. It may be a valid species, and it may be nothing more than one of many synonyms for O. ficus-indica or something similar. A quick search shows that the name is used by at least a few authors in Mexico.
In fact O. rzedowskii is Opuntia lasiacantha. How can I fix my mistake?

I don't think you made a mistake @elizatorres. That's what your flag suggests as well.
Taxon swap drafted but not committed.
