Our ID Notes may contain important tips necessary for distinguishing this gall
from similar galls and/or important information about the taxonomic status of
this gall inducer.
Show notes
This gall ranges in shape from open cup to pinched bead in shape. The galls grow to encompass more of the leaf throughout the growing season, and especially in the late summer leaves can be found covered extensively in wrinkled pouches above as well as loose erineum on the upper side of the leaf. This erineum , ranging from white to pink to brown in color, has apparently led to the impression that it was caused by Aceria calaceris. This claim has apparently not been confirmed by mite anatomy and, given that this upper erineum always occurs on leaves heavily affected by normal A negundi galls, seems likely to be erroneous.

Eriophyes Sp.
Chadwick's No. 2
Host Acer negundo L.
A shallow dimple on the under side of the leaf, filled with a white pubescence. In this gall as in the preceding species, the leaf blade has been very much thickened by proliferation in the mesophyll. The cells produced are circular in outline and of about the same size as those of the normal spongy parenchyma. The hairs produced in this case not infrequently consist of from 2 to 3 cells which are very much convoluted. They are well shown in Fig. 4. The hairs on the normal leaf of the host are straight or only very slightly curved, but the glandular, convoluted type of hair is found on the inflorescence. Both the normal and abnormal hairs are composed of the same number of cells.

Eriophyes negundi
Hosts: Acer negundo
The galls are large, rounded, and peculiarly pouchtype. They develop on the underside of the leaf blade as thickened cavities filled with a dense mass of felty, whitish, unicellular hairs. They protrude on the upper side and have slightly wrinkled domes. Their dimensions are variable. The galls are solitary and widespread on the leaf blade but are not on the veins.
Range: NY, IL, Canada, OH.
