Comments

provided by eFloras
Intermediates are known between the varieties, which are largely sympatric in northern portion of range of the species.

Cylindropuntia fulgida forms hybrids with C. spinosior (see 6. C. ×kelvinensis) and C. leptocaulis. Hybrids, which are rare in south-central Arizona, have stems of intermediate diameter, (0-)1-5 spines per areole, one spine much longer than others, and spineless, yellowing, and often reddish fruits in chains of four to six, or more.

Brief Summary

provided by EOL authors

Opuntia fulgida

Hanging Chain Cholla, Jumping Cholla, Cholla Brincadora, Vilas de Coyote

Elevation: 4000ft above sea level

Location: Chain Fruit Cholla species can be found in the deserts of southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico.

Descriptions: The Chain Fruit Cholla is characterized as segmented or “chain-like” stems/fruit that are irregular and drooping. Each Segment is covered with sharp spines. Chain Fruit Cholla produce pink colored flowers give rise to green fleshy fruit. Fruits of the Chain Fruit Cholla fall to the ground as they age, allowing new “chains” to grow by taking root to produce further Chain Fruit Cholla. Some detached segments attach to wildlife coats before taking root and then are dispersed throughout the desert. The Chain Fruit Cholla is the largest in the family with a maximum growth of 15 feet in height and 6 feet across.

****Alien and Invasive Species Regulations (AIS), National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (Act No 10 of 2004), chain-fruit cholla has been declared a category 1b, which necessitates its control, or removal and destruction if possible. No trade or planting is allowed. -http://www.arc.agric.za/arc-ppri/Pages/Chain-fruit-cholla.aspx

Blüte

Cylindropuntia fulgida ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung Cylindropuntia in der Familie der Kakteengewächse (Cactaceae). Das Artepitheton fulgida bedeutet ‚schimmernd, glänzend‘. Englische Trivialnamen sind „Boxing-Glove Cactus“, „Boxing-Glove Cholla“, „Brinkadora“, „Chain-Fruit Cholla“, „Club Cactus“, „Jumping Cholla“, „Smooth Chain-Fruit Cholla“, und „Sonoran Jumping Cholla“.

Beschreibung

Cylindropuntia fulgida wächst baumförmig mit reich verzweigten, ausgebreiteten Kronen und erreicht Wuchshöhen von 1 bis 3 Meter. Es werden weit auseinanderstrebende, verzweigte Stämme ausgebildet. Auf den völlig in Dornen eingehüllten, graugrünen, später schwärzlich werdenden, 6 bis 23 Zentimeter langen und 2 bis 3,5 Zentimeter im Durchmesser messenden Triebabschnitten befinden sich breit ovale Höcker. Endständige Triebabschnitte fallen leicht ab. Die dreieckigen golden bis lohfarben bewollten Areolen werden im Alter grau bis schwarz und tragen 1 bis 3 Millimeter lange gelbe Glochiden. Die bis zu 18 Dornen sind an fast allen Areolen vorhanden oder fehlen fast. Sie sind aufrecht bis ausgebreitet bis abwärts gebogen, gelb und werden im Alter dunkler. Die längsten von ihnen sind bis zu 3,5 Zentimeter lang. Die lose sitzenden oder dicht anliegenden Scheiden der Dornen sind weißlich bis gelblich.

Die rosa- bis magentafarbenen Blüten öffnen sich am Nachmittag. Die graugrünen, verkehrt konischen, undeutlich gehöckerten Früchte sind fleischig und nicht bedornt. Sie sind 2 bis 5,5 Zentimeter lang und weisen Durchmesser von 1,3 bis 4,5 Zentimeter auf. Die Früchte proliferieren und bilden lange hängende Ketten.

Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 22 oder 33.[1]

Verbreitung, Systematik und Gefährdung

Cylindropuntia fulgida ist in den Vereinigten Staaten im Bundesstaat Arizona sowie in den mexikanischen Bundesstaaten Sonora, Sinaloa und eventuell Baja California in der Sonora-Wüste in Höhenlagen bis 1200 Metern verbreitet. Die Art ist ebenfalls in Südafrika und Australien zu finden. Dort entwickelt sie sich jedoch zu einer invasiven Art.

Die Erstbeschreibung als Opuntia fulgida von George Engelmann wurde 1856 veröffentlicht.[2] Frederik Marcus Knuth stellte die Art 1936 in die Gattung Cylindropuntia.[3] Ein weiteres nomenklatorisches Synonym ist Grusonia fulgida (Engelm.) G.D.Rowley (2006).

In der Roten Liste gefährdeter Arten der IUCN wird die Art als „Least Concern (LC)“, d. h. als nicht gefährdet geführt.[4]

Nutzung

Die Früchte werden gesammelt. Der gummiartige Pflanzensaft wird medizinisch genutzt.

Cylindropuntia fulgida

provided by wikipedia EN

Cylindropuntia fulgida, the jumping cholla, also known as the hanging chain cholla, is a cholla cactus native to Sonora and the Southwestern United States.[1]

The greatest range of the jumping cholla is the entirety of Sonora, except the Sierra Madre Occidental cordillera on the east and northern California, including the major islands of Tiburon and Isla Ángel de la Guarda.[2]

In the Southwestern United States, the range extends into the Colorado Desert of California, and in Arizona. There it occurs south and southwest of the Arizona transition zone of the Mogollon Rim; in the northwest-central Sonoran Desert of Arizona, it is in a few selected locales. It also reaches into the northeast section of the Mojave Desert in southern Nevada and Utah, and in the very southern section of the Great Basin Desert of southern Utah. It also occurs just south of the east-west section of the Bill Williams River, east of the Colorado River in the Yuma Desert, and in parts of the Eastern Plains of Colorado.

Description

Cylindropuntia fulgida grows at elevations ranging from 300 to 1,000 m (980 to 3,280 feet). While the name "jumping cholla" is applied especially to this species, it is also used as a general term for all chollas.

The jumping cholla is an arborescent (tree-like) plant with one low-branching trunk. It often grows to heights of 4 m (13 feet), with drooping branches of chained fruit. The stems are light green and are strongly tuberculate, with tubercles (small, wart-like projections on the stems) measuring 6 to 9 millimetres (14 to 13 in). Together, the plants form fantastic looking forests that may range over many hectares.

Leaves have been reduced to spines, 6 to 12 of which grow from each areole. Young branches are covered with 2 to 3 cm (34 to 1+16 inches) silvery-yellow spines, which darken to a gray color with age. These spines form a dense layer that obscures the stems. Slower growing or older branches have sparse and/or shorter spines. As the spines fall off of older parts, the brown-black bark is revealed. It becomes rough and scaly with age.

Flowers are white and pink, streaked with lavender. They are about 2.5 cm (1 inch) wide, and are displayed at the joint tips (or old fruit tips), blooming in mid-summer. According to naturalists/writers Henry and Rebecca Northen, a curiosity of these flowers is that C. fulgida opens its flowers at exactly 3:00 p.m. solar time, and can be used to set one's watch. [3]

Most of the fleshy, green fruits are sterile, pear-shaped to nearly round, wrinkled with a few spines. They are typically about 4 cm (1+12 inches) long, often producing flowers the following year which add new fruits to those of previous seasons. It is these hanging chains of fruit which give it the name "hanging chain cholla".

Name

Jumping Cholla's stem detached and latched on the base of a paper cup.

The "jumping cholla" name comes from the ease with which the stems detach when brushed. Often the merest touch will leave a person with bits of cactus hanging on their clothes to be discovered later when either sitting or leaning on them. The ground around a mature plant will often be covered with dead stems, and young plants are started from stems that have fallen from the adult. They attach themselves to desert animals and are dispersed for short distances. Extinct, hairy megafauna may have played a role in their historic, more widespread dispersal in this manner.

Other names for this cactus include chain fruit cholla, cholla brincadora, and velas de coyote.

Wildlife

During droughts, animals like the bighorn sheep and some deer species like the desert mule deer, rely on the juicy fruit for food and water. Because they grow in inaccessible and hostile places of the desert, populations of this cactus are stable. Cactus wren are also known to nest in jumping cholla.

Detalle

Distribución

Es una especie nativa de Norteamérica en Arizona, Sonora y Baja California. Crece en alturas que van desde 300 a 1000 m s.n.m. Se encuentra en la zona de matorral del desierto de Sonora y en las llanuras altas de Arizona. En el desierto de Sonora, crece en áreas abiertas y entre el matorral espinoso de las estribaciones, en los pisos de arena y en las pendientes rocosas.

Descripción

Es un arbusto que a menudo crece hasta los 4 m de altura. Los tallos son de color verde claro y están fuertemente tuberculados, con tubérculos de 6 a 9 mm. En cada areola crecen de 6 a 12 espinas. Las ramas jóvenes están cubiertas de espinas de 2-3 cm de color plateado-amarillo, que oscurecen a un color gris con la edad. Estas espinas forman una densa capa que oculta los tallos. Cuando se caen las espinas de algunas partes, el color marrón-negro de la corteza se revela. Se vuelve áspera y escamosa con la edad.

Las flores son de color blanco y rosa, rayado con lavanda. Tienen alrededor de 2.5 cm de ancho y florecen a mediados de verano.

La mayoría de los carnosos frutos verdes son estériles, con forma casi redonda, con algunas arrugadas espinas. Tienen unos 4 cm de largo. A menudo la producción de flores se produce al año siguiente que añaden nuevos frutos a los de temporadas anteriores. Son estas cadenas que cuelgan de las frutas las que le dan el nombre de "cadena colgando cholla"

La mayoría de las frutas carnosas y verdes son estériles, con forma de pera a casi redondas, arrugadas con algunas espinas. Por lo general, miden alrededor de 4 cm (1,5 pulgadas) de largo. A menudo producen flores al año siguiente, añadiendo frutos nuevos a los de las temporadas anteriores. Son estas cadenas colgantes de frutos las que le dan el nombre de "cadena colgante cholla".

Durante las sequías, animales como el borrego cimarrón y algunas especies de ciervos como el ciervo mulo del desierto, dependen del jugoso fruto como alimento y agua. Debido a que crecen en lugares inaccesibles y hostiles del desierto, las poblaciones de este cactus son estables.

Taxonomía

Cylindropuntia fulgida fue descrita por (Engelm.) F.M.Knuth y publicado en Kaktus-ABC 126. 1935.[2]

Etimología

Cylindropuntia: nombre genérico compuesto de cylindro = "cilíndrico" y opuntia, donde hace referencia a que las plantas son cilíndricas y similares a las del género Opuntia.

fulgida: epíteto latino que significa "brillante".[3]

Kaktus beruang ( Malay )

provided by wikipedia MS

Kaktus beruang atau nama saintifiknya Cylindropuntia fulgida, dan juga dikenali sebagai cholla melompat dan cholla tergantung, merupakan asal kaktus cholla bagi Sonora dan Amerika Syarikat Barat Daya.

Julat habitat kaktus beruang terbesar adalah di Sonora, kecuali di Barat Sierra Madre cordillera di timur dan utara California, termasuk pulau-pulau utama Tiburon dan Isla Ángel de la Guarda.[1]

Di Amerika Syarikat Barat Daya, jajarannya menjangkau ke Gurun Colorado dari California, dan di Arizona. Di sana ia terdapat di selatan dan barat daya zon peralihan Arizona dari Mogollon Rim; di barat laut Gurun Sonoran dalam Arizona, ia berada di beberapa kawasan terpilih. Ia juga sampai ke bahagian timur laut Gurun Mojave di selatan Nevada dan Utah, dan di bahagian selatan Great Basin Desert dalam Utah Selatan. Ia juga berlaku di selatan bahagian timur-barat Sungai Bill Williams, di sebelah timur Sungai Colorado di Gurun Yuma.

Penerangan

Kaktus beruang tumbuh pada ketinggian bermula dari 300 hingga 1,000 m (980 hingga 3,280 ka). Walaupun nama "cholla melompat" digunakan terutama untuk spesies ini, ia juga digunakan sebagai istilah umum untuk semua cholla.

Kaktus beruang merupakan tumbuhan pokok arboresen atau berduri cabang dengan satu pohon dahan rendah. Ia sering tumbuh pada ketinggian 4 m (13 ka), dengan dahan melentur dipenuhi Buah-buahan. Batang pokok ini berwarna hijau muda dan tuber yang kuat, dengan tuberkel (ukuran kecil seperti kutu pada batang) panjang dari 6 hingga 9 mm. Bersama-sama, tumbuh-tumbuhan ini kelihatan seperti membentuk hutan yang hebat yang boleh merangkumi lebih banyak hektar.

Daun telah dikecilkan sehingga menjadi duri, 6 hingga 12 duri tumbuh bagi setiap areol. Dahan muda dilindungi 2 hingga 3 cm (1 hingga 1 in) duri perak kekuningan, yang akan menggelap kepada warna kelabu jika semakin berusia. Duri ini membentuk lapisan padat yang mengaburkan batang. Cawangan yang semakin besar atau lebih tua mempunyai dahi dan / atau duri yang lebih pendek. Apabila duri jatuh dari bahagian yang lebih tua, kulit hitam kulit dinampakkan. Ia menjadi kasar dan bersisik jika semakin berusia.

Bunga adalah berwarna putih dan merah jambu, bercorak lavender. Bunga ini kira-kira satu inci lebar, dan diperlihatkan di hujung bersambung (atau hujung buah-buahan lama), mekar pada pertengahan musim panas.

Imej jarak dekat duri cholla yang menunjukkan cangkuk mikroskopik yang membuatkan pencabutan sangat menyakitkan.

Kebanyakan buah-buahan yang berdaun dan hijau adalah steril, pir - berbentuk hampir bulat, berkerut dengan beberapa duri. Buah ini biasanya kira-kira 4 cm (1.5 in) panjang, sering menghasilkan bunga pada tahun berikutnya yang menambahkan buah-buahan baru kepada musim-musim sebelumnya. Ia adalah rantaian tergantung buah yang memberi nama "cholla tergantung".

Nama

 src=
Batang Cholla Melompat tercabut dan melekat pada pangkal cawan kertas.

Nama "cholla melompat" berasal dari kesenangan batang popok tercabut apabila tersentuh. Selalunya sentuhan paling lembut akan meninggalkan seseorang dengan bit kaktus yang tergantung pada pakaian mereka untuk ditemui kemudian apabila sama ada duduk atau bersandar padanya. Tanah di sekitar tumbuhan yang matang akan sering diliputi dengan batang mati, dan tumbuh-tumbuhan muda bermula dari batang yang telah jatuh dari pokok matang. Tumbuhan yang muda melampirkan dirinya ke haiwan padang pasir dan tersebar untuk jarak pendek.

Nama-nama lain untuk kaktus ini termasuk cholla rantaian buah, cholla brincadora, dan velas de coyote.

Hidupan liar

Semasa musim kemarau, haiwan seperti domba bighorn dan beberapa spesies rusa seperti rusa kelinci padang pasir, bergantung pada buah yang berair untuk makanan dan air. Kerana mereka tumbuh di tempat yang tidak dapat diakses dan terpencil di padang pasir, populasi kaktus ini stabil.
