to only a few species: Cuscuta campestris<\/em>, C. epithymum<\/em>, C. europaea<\/em>, C. gronovii<\/em>, C. pacifica<\/em> (reported as C. salina<\/em>). Considering that many Cuscuta<\/em> sp. are known only from their type specimens or they are very rare (or even extinct), finding photos of living plants for all the taxa listed below is an impossible job, and anyway, if you want to identify a Cuscuta<\/em> spp<\/u>. you must use the basic morphology galleries<\/a>.<\/p>\nIn general, I linked directly to the online source. Please make sure that you respect the rules of the website\/owner of the images. I am only making sure that the identity of the taxon illustrated is correct. The list of species below is not a synopsis of the genus (I may have missed some good species). <\/p>\n
