[Gall on . — In view of the increasing interest felt in the study of galls and gall-producers, we give a figure of the under-surface of the leaf of a species of , sent to us by Baron von Muller (fig. 68). The galls are not unlike the nail galls produced on the leaves of the Lime, as recently figured, but these are produced on the lower surface, and have a small aperture at the top, the edges of which are everted. The galls fall off, leaving a pit on the under-surface of the leathery leaf. Ed .]
