Although many Cuscuta species do have various hosts that they can use and I have even seen C. subinclusa on other hosts as well such as Salix spp. However, from all of the flowering specimens that I have seen of Cuscuta on Malosma hosts, I have only seen C. subinclusa parasitze it. Of course, there is not 100% guarantee without flowers, but it would definitely be my best guess from what I know of their association. BEst!
