Abstract: Investigate interviewing plants of Hoplitis pyrrhosoma in the field and study these plants'pollen morphology with scanning electron microscope.Morphology of pollen carried on the female bee's body is also studied.Results indicated that the bee's foraging plants are more than 20 species of which 14 species have been identified and the others have not been identified.Pollens carried on the bee's body belong to Zygophyllaceae,Leguminosae,Chenopodiaceae,Convolvulaceae,Liliaceae and Elaeagnaceae.There are long spherical,close spherical,triangular pollens.Pollen veins are variform,such as reticulate,foveolate,striate,granulate,cerebroid and so on.

Key words: Hoplitis pyrrhosoma, pollen morphology, interviewing plants
