Oak apples... robin's pin cushions on dog roses... red pimples on sycamore leaves... Looking for plant galls is a field where the amateur naturalist can make a real difference to scientific knowledge. These bizarrely shaped and highly coloured growths on plants are caused by insects and other organisms.
This 12-panel laminated fold-out chart includes colour illustrations for 69 common galls. The accompanying text gives further background information on gall identification and causers.
This chart is part of the FSC's range of fold-out charts, designed to help users identify of a wide range of plants and animals.
