Cuscuta .......may be C. campestris or C. chinensis . Distinction will be made by a close up of matured fruits .......
In C. campestris matured fruit is only half covered in sepal cup . 
In C. chinensis matured fruit is fully covered in sepal cup .

Thank you Garg ji for validating.

Rakesh ji, Attaching a highly cropped pic of what I presume to be developing fruits? Can this help in deciding between C. chinensis and C. campestris/C. pentagona?

Thanks and regards
