Mr Milner could extract the information by going through the keys (British Plant Galls) and checking in a flora for native host species. A bit of a bore but it...
Dear Margaret, That's just what I told him! I couldn't think of anything else. Thank you for the confirmation. http://www.searchgamesbox.com/tvtown.shtml...

Thank you Scotty for the list which I have passed on to Edward. He has sent me some photos for id. Can anyone help with this one on Hornbeam? Janet> Date: Mon,...
Hi Alan, I would think that is Dasineura aparines. I have found similar ones with gall-midge larvae inside. A anthobius gall would have mites. Cheers Carl...
Alan Your photographs are typical of Dasineura aparines galls but it would be worth checking out the identity of the larvae as I once found Contarinia larvae...
Thanks Carl. It was your website comment that triggered my doubts. :-) Glad to see that you have picked up where your Skye diary left off. I like the format. ...
Thank you Keith. I will certainly take up your offer in the summer. ...... he said, presuming the summer will be 'normal'. Alan ... would be worth checking out...
Hi everyone, I have just moved a message from my junk folder to my inbox and it has disappeared - it's not in my deleted messages folder either so I don't...

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request re the missing message. Contact has been established. Charles seemed to find it amusing that my junk filter...
I've noticed galls on a Holm Oak in Kidwell's Park, Maidenhead. These are small raised pimples (2-3 mm, above leaf dorsal surface) with what I assume is an...
Hi Jerry, Many thanks for the observation. I have looked through French, Dutch and Hungarian books looking for something like your description. Hope you don't...
Hi Jerry, We found these galls on a Holm oak in the Leicester Uni Botanic Garden in 2004. I have put 3 pics in my "Maggie's Galls" photos. Hope they are of...
Re messages from Tom, Maggie and Jerry re Aceria ilicis - I just thought it would be interesting to see what we have in the database for this species. There...
Hi Jerry, Tom etc., I've been trying to look at Maggie's photos of the gall but my computer is being obstruse and won't let me open it! The erineum could be...
Hi Margaret, In 2004, I emailed the pics of the Holm Oak galls to John Smeathers and he said that they could be Aceria ilicis but to keep the specimens for him...
Hi Maggie, I am glad John Smeathers is back in the fold and willing to ID mites for us. It's probably best to send specimens straight away when fresh, although...
Maggie, again, These look very like Aceria ilicis erinea. I understood from the description that the new galls were more of a pimple above and less extensive...

This is fasciation, which could have several causes (genetic, physiological) and is probably not due to galling by an animal or fungus. So, it is rather...
