Lamento dejartelo en inglés, pero por cuestión de tiempo te dejo el trabajo a tí.
Es prácticamente un descripción pero quizá sea útil.
Suerte.
Te cito lo escrito en The Cactaceae, Volume I - Britton and Rose

Opuntia ficus-indica (Linnaeus) Miller

Cactus ficus-indica Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 468. 1753
Cactus opuntia Gussone, Fl. Sic. Prodr. 559 1827-
8. Not Linnaeus.
Opuntia vulgaris Tenore, Syll. Fl. Neap. 239. 1831.
Not Miller.
Opuntia ficus-barbarica Berger, Monatsschr.
Kakteenk. 22: 181. 1912.

Large and bushy or sometimes erect and treelike
and then with a definite woody trunk up to 5
meters high, usually with a large top; joints oblong to spatulate-oblong, usually 3 to 5 cm. long,
sometimes even larger; areoles small, usually spineless; glochids yellow, numerous, soon dropping
off; leaves subulate, green, 3 mm. long; flowers large, normally bright yellow, 7 to 10 cm. broad;
ovary 5 cm. long; fruit normally red, edible, 5 to 9 cm. long, with a low, depressed umbilicus.
Type locality: Tropical America.
Distribution: Native home not known, but now found all over the tropics and subtropics
either as cultivated plants or as escapes. It is hardy in Bermuda and Florida.
This cactus is widely cultivated in all tropical and subtropical countries, where it is grown
for its fruits and for forage. It has run wild in many waste places along the Mediterranean
Sea, about the Red Sea, in southern Africa, and in Mexico.
We have not attempted to list the many named garden varieties of this species, which
are sometimes Latin and sometimes English in form.
Opuntia amyclaea ficus-indica (Berger, Monatsschr. Kakteenk. 15: 154. 1905) has never
been described.
The origin of this common, cultivated species doubtless dates back to prehistoric times.
We have long been convinced that it is a close relative of the Streptacanthae, and have
kept it out of that series as only a matter of convenience. Mr. A. Berger believed it to be
a spineless form of O. amyclaea, which is now a well-established species in certain parts of
Italy. Dr. Griffiths has recently figured a reversion which appeared on the common spineless form which points very definitely to O. megacantha as the origin of this form. (See Reversion
in Prickly Pears, Journ. Hered. 5: 222. 1914.)
