Cuscuta reflexa, also known as the giant dodder or ulan ulan, is a parasitic plant found in the Indian subcontinent, Greater Himalayas, and parts of Southeast Asia. It is one of many species in the Cuscuta genus and is characterized by its leafless, twining vine that grows over host plants, including large trees. The plant produces small, white bell-shaped flowers with yellow filaments, and its fruits and seeds come from these flowers. It can grow up to thirty-three feet in length and is commonly seen hanging from the canopies of trees.
