Flexispinus
I have this labelled as Tephrocactus flexispinus but am guessing it is now Cumulopuntia boliviana??

Re: Flexispinus
If it had been Bkb's T. flexispinus n.n. then, you're right, it would be C. boliviana. Those awful grainy photos of tatty, single-segment plants at the back of The Cactus Lexicon have a lot to answer for.
