Cylindropuntia fulgida var. mammillata 'Monstrosa', the Boxing Glove Cholla or Dog's Ear Cholla, is a bizarre, crested (monstrose) form of the jumping cholla. Its stems are distorted into flattened, fan-shaped, spineless pads that resemble boxing gloves or dog ears. It lacks the formidable spines of the species, making it a safe, conversation-piece specimen for collectors of weird and wonderful cacti.
