Abstract (2. Language): 
Present survey is conducted on two species of Cuscuta (C. chinensis and C. reflexa) which are distributed in different parts of Nadia district especially in Kalyani Township. 30 angiospermic host plants have been identified out of which 25 angispermic plants are infected by C. reflexa and only 5 plants has been attacked by C. chinensis. All angiospermic plants are distributed in 28 genera and 20 families. 2 plants has been identified as pseudo parasite and 2 plants belonging to pteridophytic group are also attacked by Cuscuta. Detailed structure and development of haustoria have been studied on 8 angiospermic plants. Mikania cordata is identified as primary host plant of Cuscuta. Structure of haustorium is variable which is dependent on some factors.
