Abstract:

The state's native cacti are two species of prickly pear. The first is the devil's-tongue, and while it occurs throughout the state, it is most common in the Coastal Plain and Sandhills. The second is the devil's-joint which is restricted to coastal sand dunes and the pinewoods of the state's southern coastal counties.
