Cladophyll is the scientific name for cactus pear. Alternate equivalents are cladodes and phylloclades. The scientific term applies to the branches or portions of a stem that resemble leaves and are deemed the main organizers of photosynthesis for a plant. As such, they aren't true leaves, because they grow buds, flowers, and even more shoots.
