Polylectic with affinity for Rosaceae, Apiaceae and Helianthemum (Cistaceae).

His detailed list includes: Sanguisorba officinalis, Potentilla (Rosaceae); Apiaceae, Helianthemum (Cistaceae); Lonicera (Caprifoliaceae); Plantago sp. (Plantaginaceae); Brassicaceae; Campanulaceae; Polygonum bistorta (Polygonaceae); Ranunculaceae; Acer sp. (Aceraceae); Ilex (Aquifoliaceae); Juncaceae; Cornus sp.
