Cuscuta is a genus under convolvulaceae , with many sections . Being leafless , classification depends on stem thickness + color , floral characters and seeds .

Long bell shaped flowers with thicker stem ...3 options ...C .reflexa , C .japonica and C .krishnae .

C .reflexa flowers come directly on stem nodes . C .japonica flowers come on a short raceme of about 3 cm or less . C .krishnae has red purple color , diffuse or in dots on stem and flowers...borne on a short compact inflorescence .

In your trademark crisp images , I can see purple blotches and dots , plus are flowers on a peduncle ? If yes , how long ?

Sorry Dr. Singh, I did not measure . By the way is not recorded in Nepal.

I guess it is more close toCuscuta reflexa Roxb. !

Thank you.
