Gallformers ID Notes

One or several hairless, orange-red, globular, berry-like galls at the end of a stalk equal in length to their diameter. The galls are not clustered but spread along the length of the midrib on the upper side of the leaf. The galls were observed in Guatemala in January. The host is a white-group oak given the presence of Striatoandricus galls on the leaves, tentatively identified as Quercus peduncularis.
