Cuscuta reflexa, the giant dodder or ulan ulan,[4] is one of about 220 species in genus Cuscuta, in the family Convolvulaceae.[5] It is common in the Indian subcontinent and the Greater Himalayas and as far south as Malaysia and Indonesia.[6] This parasitic plant species is a leafless twined sprawling thin vine that grows over a host plant, including large trees. It will make garlands hanging down from tree canopies as long as 10 metres (33 ft).[7] The flowers are small, bell shaped and white with yellow filaments.
