This is the link to the pic gallery. The Barbary fig are the last two. http://plants.usda.gov/java/imageGa...ort=15&page=13&imageField.x=16&imageField.y=5
If you look through the gallery or just type in the word Opuntia you will get about 300+ types of Opuntia. It’s my understanding that Barbary Fig is what we get on the west cost and Devils tongue on the east. That is considered the spineless cactus.
