Opuntia monacantha Haw. legitimate | sensu Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (2005), Australian Plant Census
Opuntia vulgaris Mill. auct. non Mill.: Harden, G.J. in Harden, G.J. (ed.) (1990), Cactaceae. Flora of New South Wales 1: 203 Opuntia vulgaris Mill. auct. non Mill.: Stajsic, V. & Carr, G.W. in Walsh, N.G. & Entwisle, T.J. (ed.) (1996), Cactaceae. Flora of Victoria 3: 125-126, Fig. 25w-y
  • A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 2124 (1991) and I.R.H.Telford,Fl. Australia 4: 70 (1984) indicate Opuntia monacantha is based on Cactus monacantha Willd. However, Haworth's protologue does not support this interpretation (see also GRIN database: http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?25858)
