Default Cactus Question

The name Opuntia vulgaris is invalid. The name has been misapplied to
Opuntia monacantha.

The variegated plant known as 'Joseph's Coat' is actually a virus infected
Opuntia monacantha.

I have a variegated cactus. I once found a reference to something
like that as Opuntia vulgaris.

Is that valid, or was it at some time?

thanks
