Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Pea galls on oak The pea galls of the title are the pale globular objects that are attached to the midrib of the leaf and to the side-veins; several examples, of varied sizes, are visible.
These galls, which are caused by the Cynipid wasp species Cynips divisa, are fairly common; they are hard, unlike the currant gall – https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1336489 – and they contain a small chamber within which a wasp larva develops. The photo shows two other kinds of gall. The numerous flat reddish-brown objects with central mounds are common spangle galls ( https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/929354 ). Towards the upper left, on a different leaf, some silk button spangle galls ( https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/929338 ) can be seen; these are smaller, with a raised rim. At least five types of gall were present on this young tree: three of them are shown in this photo; the others were knopper galls ( https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/950030 ), and a single mature example of an artichoke gall ( https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/950022 ). |
