Summary[edit]

Description
English: Galls scattered over alder leaf. Two kinds of leaf gall were present in abundance on the native alder trees (Alnus glutinosa) in this area; both kinds could often be found on the same tree.

The growths shown in this photo are caused by the gall mite Eriophyes laevis, and they are scattered over the upper surface of the leaf; on the underside, there are only small inconspicuous openings. Many leaves were much more densely galled than this, sometimes to the extent that the leaves became quite distorted.

The other variety of gall that was present on these trees is shown here: 957964.
