Gallformers ID Notes

Raised, tubular pipe-like galls on the stems of Amorpha canescens. Galls are thin-walled, and range from green when fresh to brown when aged. Each gall is covered in a layer of hairy pubescence. Galls are tightly clustered on the stem and have thin walls. The galls were identified by Raymond Gagne as Dasineura.

Observed in Minnesota in June and Iowa in August.
