The upper elevation limit of Cylindropuntia acanthocarpa is often reported as either 1,200 or 1,300 m, despite the type locality being at 1,465 m. We provide 31 herbarium records from over 1,300 m elevation, 23 personal iNaturalist photographic records from 1,700-1,900 m, and evidence that the upper limit of C. acanthocarpa may be 2,000 m.
