I know these are early days for the BPGS forum and possibly no one will be reading this. However, I just wanted to let as many members as possible know that a...
I was just admiring the gall photos on the website, Carl. They are superb. Just for interest Dasineura filicina which causes Little Black Pudding galls on...
Glad you like the photos, I must put some more on the site. On the old website there was a list of name changes and other corrections/amendments to British...
Hello Janet, Sorry that I couldn't be at the Birmingham meeting. Although I probably won't be out on many field meetings this year, I would like to test the...
Dear Carl, How about just putting on the whole MapMate checklist? There could be such confusion if people get 'new names' from different sources. This was...
Might as well get started on the database side of the site then. The Mapmate checklist has 6 columns: Code, Taxon, Authority, Vernacular, Parent and Status,...
Dear Carl My copy of MM has Dasineura festucae - that's odd. Yes we have copyright on the checklist. The Keys have some synonyms but Robin Williams thinks only...
Very odd. I got my Plant Galls checklist from the Mapmate site, patch no.327. If I go to the Data Browser and Browse Taxa, there is a long list of Dasineura...
Dear Carl, Have you selected Diptera in your configuration? I have so I wonder if that's why I get Dasineura festucae and you don't. That would mean it's on ...
No I just select British Plant Gall Society for my config when looking at galls. It's there if I select Diptera. By the way, did you ever send out those new...
Sorry Carl - I haven't sent anything. I'm having a busy time. All the family are needing support at the moment and I'm struggling to fit them in around work....
I know how it feels. 24 hours in a day is a pitiful amount, there should be at least ten times as many. Hope it all gets sorted soon. Carl ... From: Janet...
I've created a photo album called Carl Farmer and uploaded a photo to it. First time I've tried this, hope you can all find the photo! (click on "Photos" in...
Hello Carl, Trial run:- I've had a go at creating a photo album "Maggie's galls" and have hopefully uploaded a pic. of Contarinia anthobia, that I found on a...
Hi Maggie, Congratulations, that is the first picture of Contarinia anthobia on the web, and it shows exactly what to look for. I shall hunt for it on the...
Hi Carl, Don't forget that there are two possible gall causers doing this - see British Plant Galls - Redfern, Shirley & Bloxham, page 317. Check the colour...
Hi Carl, Sorry for the delay - I think I'm on top of things now! I've attached a copy of the recording form, thinking that it would be easier for you to put it...
I wonder if anyone in the Society can help me to identify the attached galls. If there is an interest in Australian Galls I will attach a few more later. I...

Hi, I've just received the following e mail and assumed that the picture would be of Taphrina alni but when I looked at it I wasn't at all sure. It's more of a...
Hi Janet, Looking at the picture it still looks like it must be Taphrina alni. This gall does not need to protrude from the side, I think, as long as it can ...
Hi I think that the gall (picture attached) is a pocket plum gall (on Prunus) - but am not convinced as it should be swollen on one side of the fruit and this...
Hi, It looks like pocket plum gall (Taphrina pruni) to me. I think the shape can be very variable. Jojanneke _______________________________________________ ...
This is another Australian gall. This time on a Eucalyptus leaf. It looks very similar to some I have seen on UK plants. Any ideas what insect made it? Dian...

Does the gall on the picture look familiar to anybody? Could it be Contarinia jacobaea? I have not seen it before, but it reminds me of Rhopalomyia. Jojanneke...
Hi Jojanneke, It doesn't look like C. jacobaea to me - is the host Senecio jacobaea? I've not seen it before. It looks a bit like a seed head of something like...
