Requesting to please validate ID of this climber<\/span> captured near Manali, HP in October 2014.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

I hope this is Cuscuta reflexa<\/i> (based on FoI pics).<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

It resemles to Cuscuta Japonica<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

I hesitate to say, that, if Cuscuta japonica<\/span><\/a> (syn. C. reflexa<\/i> var. densiflora<\/i><\/span><\/a>), which has spotted stem http:\/\/forests.world.coocan.jp\/flora\/convolvul-3.html<\/span><\/a>, is not found in India then it is likely to be C. reflexa<\/i>. At least petal lobes tally.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks for the info, … Actually, I thought the spots on the fruits and stem were some kind of disease….<\/p>\n

\n

Hopefully the experts validate the ID…<\/p>\n

\n

cuscuta reflexa<\/i> I think so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cuscuta for Exact ID and a Photos . Yellow parasitic threadlike plant.<\/a>: 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (11<\/span>)<\/span><\/div>\n
Sharing some photos of the Cuscuta<\/i>.
\nTill about a week back I only knew this as a threadlike parasite plant<\/span> that can engulf large trees.
\nI had seen many but there was nothing interesting. Till the other I suddenly noticed flowers on a tree that were not it’s own. On close observation it was the Cuscuta<\/i> (name found out later).<\/div>\n
This was my first encounter with these flowers. A brought a small branch home to photograph.
\nName : Cuscuta<\/i>, Yellow Parasite with threadlike appearance.
\nLocation : Dwarka, Delhi.

Cuscuta is a genus under convolvulaceae<\/i>, with many sections. Being leafless, classification depends on stem thickness + color, floral characters and seeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long bell shaped flowers with thicker stem …3 options …C .reflexa, C .japonica<\/span><\/i> and C .krishnae<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
C .reflexa<\/i> flowers come directly on stem nodes. C .japonica<\/i> flowers come on a short raceme of about 3 cm or less. C .krishnae<\/i> has red purple color, diffuse or in dots on stem and flowers… borne on a short compact inflorescence.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n

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

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Sorry …, I did not measure. By the way is not recorded in Nepal.<\/div>\n
\n

I guess it is more close to Cuscuta reflexa<\/i> Roxb. \u00a0!<\/p>\n
