New foodplant for Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor)???

[Glaucus]

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever found or reared Battus philenor on
anything other than Pipevine? I can find no reference source that lists
anything else, but I have seen a handful of specimens over the last few
years at a park near my house where pipevine absolutely does not exist. I
have contacted a number of plant people, and all have confirmed that there
is no pipevine there. I am sure there is another foodplant, but I'm curious
to know what it is. Thanks!
