Observations of Peniocereus striatus along the Arizona–Sonora border and near Bahía Kino document associations with nurse plants. The paper also describes flowering schedules, hawk moth visits and marker transport between flowers. Associations between nurse damage and cactus condition, and observations following agricultural spraying, retain their field observational scope.
