Gallformers ID Notes
“
Fuzzy bead galls in numbers on the upper and lower sides of Sideroxylon lanuginosum leaves in Texas. They appear in April and persist throughout the season, and in later months the pubescence wears off to reveal the irregular globular shape of the galls. The inside of each gall is filled with dense erineum. Emergence holes in the fall are caused by parasitoid wasps, not the eriophyid mites that induce the galls.
