This is getting complicated. Please check my thread, I have uploaded a little while ago - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/4juCgPJGMN8/YHpA9ZMONDEJ. I think your species look similar to mine. Your species doesn't look like C. hyalina, for flowers should have acuminate to caudate petals and acute to acuminate sepals.

I suspect there are two species of Cuscuta here, the one with orange-brown thinner stem is flowering and the other with yellow-green thicker stem (C. reflexa?) is not flowering.
