I am thinking it is the wide flat leafed form of the O. basilaris var brachyclada. There is a thin rounded leafed form also. This is a guess , not a firm ID. Scroll half way down on the page below. Here is a link that might be useful: Opuintia brasilaris

by leaves, i mean the fat, green things that stick out from where the spines and glochids are on a fully grown pad. This pad is several months old, but on the side of the pad that faces the house, they haven't shriveled up yet. Here is a link that might be useful:

About 12 years ago there were at least 22 documented cases of cycad sex reversal. It usually happened after a stressful event like a fire, freeze, and just a rough transplant. After two of my cycads changed sex by accident I just had to try an experiment. I can go into great detail if anyone wants to hear all that, but the bottom line was, I was able to change 20% of the male plants into females and 20% of the females into males. I told Roy Osbourne of my experiment and the next year he had a mass accidental change, where he was planting 6 male Cycas taitungensis plants at an airport and all of them turned into females. 8 years ago he wrote a paper saying that cycads are not genetically male or female, but call it sex expression. Basically, when a cycad is stressed in many possible ways, it produces a hormone, and if it happens at the right time, sex reversal. It doesn't happen often, but I get an email or a phone call about twice a year from someone who knows nothing about cycads, and swear their sago changed the kind if cone it had.
