VOF Week: Cuscuta for Id from Valley:<\/a> This looks to be a different species of Cuscuta<\/i>, as the colour of stem
as well as of the flowers varies, the size of flowers and stem diameter was also lesser than C. reflexa<\/i>….<\/font>any ideas please….<\/p>\n
\n

I hope Cuscuta europaea<\/i><\/p>\n

VoF Week :: DV :: 02 AUG 12 – 1218 :: flowering shrub at Valley of Flowers:<\/a> 2 AUG 12<\/span>
Valley of Flowers<\/span> … <\/span>about 11000 – 12000 ft<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Habitat<\/b>: sloping meadow
Habit<\/b>: shrub, cannot recollect height<\/span>; flower about 5 – 7 mm across … wild guess: member of Polygonaceae<\/i> <\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Interesting find … Good – sharp photographs. Did U use yr new camera?<\/p>\n
\n

Yes, used both cameras. Close-ups with the new one Lumix G3 – wide with the earlier G1.<\/p>\n

\n

….sorry to have doubts…..to me this seems very likely that..the flowers belong to Cuscuta<\/i> and not the shrub…<\/p>\n

\n

Very true … I am rubbing my eyes now !!
I mistook the flowers to belong to the shrub.
Thank you very much.
Many thanks to … for his upload of Cuscuta europaea<\/i> var. indica<\/i> Engelm. (synonym of Cuscuta europaea<\/i> L.)
https:\/\/groups.google.com\/d\/msg\/indiantreepix\/SzSBwKoG_ZI\/4pxkpN8pZtAJ<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Thanks … The flowers were so closely attached to the shrub that I was at complete loss to guess any thing.<\/p>\n
