and when water starved

Sorry Garg ji, I did not look for any keys.
For all my Puducherry plants, I used this site as a reference: e-flora of Karikal District ... scroll among the list of genera, and click on genus Opuntia ... it will list of species distributed in the district. In this case, only dillenii is listed.
To me, the plant does look like typical Opuntia dillenii that I have been seeing. Yet I may be mistaking. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Regards.
Dinesh
