Thanks Ushadi. Surajit, there are five delicate translucent scales with
inward-facing finger-like projections at their tips (fimbriolate?) . Will try
to get a better picture.Regards,Chitralekha

Dear Surajit,The scales are very much there. They are present where the
filaments have fused with the petals (attached photo).Can I also call them
coronal outgrowths? if yes, are they then petaloid or staminal in origin? The
host in this case is Clerodendrum inerme. After flowering the parasite withers
and dies. I am yet to see the other Cuscuta species (probably C.reflexa) with
the greenish-yellow stem flower in Delhi. Like C. reflexa, C. campestris too
shows self-parasitism though not as aggressively. Best regards,Chitralekha

Thank you very much Madam. I also tried to dissect those flowers to see
scales! But it was impossible to me to see anything inside.

Yes, Surajit. I am now fully convinced that it is Cuscuta campestris. I
dissected the flowers and found them to be exactly as described in Flora of
China.Thank you,Regards,Chitralekha

Madam,
Now I am confused, I have identified my species (at
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/4juCgPJGMN8) as Cuscuta
campestris, based on Flora of China KEY -(i) capsule entirely enclosed by
withered corolla = chinensis(ii) capsule subtended by withered corolla =
campestris
Thank youRegardssurajit

You are right Surajit. It does appear to be C. chinensis which probably has not
been reported from Delhi.Thanks.Regards,Chitralekha

Madam,
I Haven't received your mail yesterday, instead replying in the group site
directly. This is getting complicated. Please check my thread, I have uploaded
a little while ago -
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/4juCgPJGMN8/YHpA9ZMONDEJ.
I think your species look similar to mine.
Your species doesn't look like C. hyalina, for flowers should have acuminate to
caudate petals and acute to acuminate sepals. Please
check-http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=130459

Thank you Surajit. In Flora of Delhi ((1963) only two species of Cuscuta are
reported to be growing in Delhi, C. reflexa and C. hyaline. I tried FoP but
could not conclusively identify the species.regards,Chitralekha

Kindly identify the species of Cuscuta growing in Delhi. I suspect there are
two species of Cuscuta here, the one with orange-brown thinner stem is
flowering and the other with yellow-green thicker stem (C. reflexa?) is not
flowering. Thank you, With best regards,Chitralekha
