The most common cactus is the prickly pear [Opuntiaspp]. It ranges from Canada, in northern North America, all the way down through Latin America's southernmost reaches in the South American countries of Argentina and Chile. It includes over 360 species. So it's the most common and the largest, in terms of categories, numbers, and range.
