This is Opuntia ficus-indica - there's a large patch at the back of one of the embassy buildings nearby, and plants are scattered widely in the general area.

Thanks Rosemary. I think other sightings on Scrivener Hill have been identified as Opuntia ficus-indica. It is disappointing that some of them have been intentionally planted near the large patch.
