Dinesh i have been looking at this and .... searching seems cylindropuntia is the correct tract
and it may be this or very similar to it.... Cylindropuntia ramosissima url http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora/eflora_display.php?tid=80399 from uc berkeley it allows description to be exploded but not the dichotomous key... description makes me think its likely C. ramosissima but to make it more complicated there is a c. echinocarpa but that looks as if it has a different growth pattern and thorns but how did it get imported to rajasthan from mexico... i guess it would be at the same time as when thor...the opuntias were imported to india .... see what you think usha di ps it would be interesting if you had a chance to revisit when these are flowering and then fruiting if ever? it would be too hot i guess. never mind dont go ....in that heat.
