<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Mike, et al. <br></div><div><br></div><div>The dodder I collected at the Kane Natural Area (now mitigation bank) in Carlstadt about 10 yr ago was C. japonica. It has apparently not been seen again there, but who knows. We also found this in 2015 in the Berry's Creek study area not too far away. <br></div><div><br></div><div>As I recall, the first specimen keyed out to C. umbrosa because japonica was not in the keys we had (the usual northeastern floras). There may be a more cosmopolitan Cuscuta key on the Web (?). <br></div><div><br></div><div>If you have a putative umbrosa or japonica specimen, you could ask Mihai Costea <<a href="mailto:costea@wlu.ca">costea@wlu.ca</a>> if he would be willing to look at it - he's a world class dodderologist. You will need a good flowering specimen. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I would not be at all surprised to find C. japonica elsewhere in NJ. FYI, both our Meadowlands specimens had purplish stems rather than the usual doddery yellow or orange. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Best, Erik<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 30, 2018 at 1:19 PM, Mike Van Clef <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mike.vanclef@gmail.com" target="_blank">mike.vanclef@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">

It’s Cuscuta - a valuable native species. Probably C. campestre.<br>
