According to the POWO , CoL, GBIF and WP, Cuscuta pentagona Engelm. has got no distribution near Nepal and India and most of the Asian countries

and also Cuscuta campestris Yunck is not the syn. as they are mentioned as separate sps.

I am wondering if this could be Cuscuta chinensis Lam. since it is recorded in Nepal. It is recorded form the Kirtipur which is the same locality of Chobhar.

Both species are very close. Pl. see the keys from Flora of Pakistan:

13 (12)	Petals triangular; sepal lobes triangular-ovate, forming carina near the tip, 2-2.5 mm long; bract keeled; filament flat		13 Cuscuta chinensis
+	Petals oblong-elliptical; sepal lobes oval to orbicular, not forming carina near the tips, 1.2-1.5 mm long; bracts not keeled; filament subulate		14 Cuscuta campestris

Sepal lobes are not clear in the posted images. 

Both species are reported from India, but we have kept everything at 
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/cuscuta-campestris/

On going through the keys and distribution, I shall keep it as Cuscuta chinensis Lam.

[Saroj Kasaju]

Thank you Mr. Garg.

Alos most of the books listed at 
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/cuscuta/, generally mention Cuscuta chinensis Lam. and not Cuscuta campestris Yunck.

Thank you Mr. Garg.
