Perhaps we need to update Fig. 618 in the keys. Is the lumen inside the gall continuous? I had assumed that it was but, I admit, I haven't dissected the galls!...
Hi Margaret, Yes, the lumen is continuous, but the walls are not; the petiole is swollen and the edges form a good fit to the next turn, but they're not...
