Opuntia matudae

Opuntia matudae, or xoconostle, is a cactus native to Mexico. It is sometimes treated as a synonym of Opuntia hyptiacantha. In 2019, a genetic study supported keeping the taxa distinct.

Opuntia matudae is the most commercially important species of cactus referred to as 'xoconostle'. Opuntia joconostle is also referred to as 'xoconostle'.

The cactus fruit is consumed as a traditional medicine and food in Mexico.
