This species is closely related to Cuscuta lehmanniana but it can be separated on the basis of its capsule which is small and not definitely circumscissile. However, Yuncker (l.c.) in the description of Cuscuta reflexa indicates that the capsule is circumscissile with a definite line of cleavage. We have examined a large number of specimens belonging to this species, but unable to see any circumscissile capsule with difinite line of cleavage. Pedicel is mostly 0.5-2 mm long, but in one specimen Stewart 19584 (RAW), is up to 7 mm long.
