Synopsis

Excerpt from A Contribution to the Morphology and Biology of Insect Galls

In some forms the effect Of the stimulation does not extend beyond the epidermis, on which the producers are located, but in other species it is transmitted throughout the mesophyll of the leaf.

The abnormal activity of the epidermis is expressed in the curving and folding of the tissue as well as in the production by it of various forms Of trichomes.

In general, when the effect of the stimulation extends to the mesophyll the distinction between the palisade and the spongy parenchyma is lost. In place of these tissues a compact mass of uniform cells is produced.
