The Opuntia microdasys subsp. rufida (Engelm.) U. Guzmán & Mandujano (2003), for long time considered as a species itself (Opuntia rufida), is a much ramified succulent, on a short stem, which forms erect tufts which may reach a height of about 1,5 m and a breadth of 2,5 m.

The stems are formed by flat articles, the cladodes, of circular, obovate or elliptical form, 6-18 cm long and 6-20 cm broad, pubescent, of grey-green colour, which during the growing phase are provided with fleshy conical leaves (subulate), of green colour with reddish apex, short lasting. The surface of the cladodes is covered by circular areoles of 3-6 mm of diameter, placed in diagonal lines, without thorns but with a short white or bronze down and with thick glochids (tufts of thin thorns, long a few millimetres) of reddish brown colour which easily detach.
