British Plant Galls is an identification guide to plant galls in Britain.
Many naturalists recognise the commoner plant galls, like Oak Apples and Robin’s Pin Cushions. But there are many more. Some are tiny and require diligent searching. They occur on all parts of the plant: roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. They appear as swellings and nodules, patches of hairs, dimples, blisters, discs and balls.
Fortunately galls are often host-specific, and many host plants have only a few known galls. So identifying the host plant can help narrow down the options considerably.
A special feature of the British Plant Galls is that all galls, whether caused by fungi and other microorganisms or by nematodes, mites or insects, are incorporated into a single series of keys.
These keys build on three earlier works. In 1986 the British Plant Gall Society produced the first provisional keys. In turn these led to the 2002 the First Edition of this AIDGAP guide. The Second Edition came in 2011. This Third Edition expands on the 2011 keys, bringing nomenclature fully up to date, and with new illustrations of additional galls. In addition many figures have been replaced with new drawings based on British specimens.
This guide is part of Field Studies Council’s AIDGAP series (Aids to Identification in Difficult Groups of Animals and Plants). AIDGAP guides are accessible keys suitable for non-specialists from age 16+. Field Studies Council worked with the British Plant Gall Society to produce the Plant galls AIDGAP.
