This gall has heen recently described by Marlatt as follows : "The 

 gall is found on Salix humilis. It is smooth, flattish, fleshy, sessile, yellow- 

 ish green, monothalamous, semi-circular in general shape like the seed of 

 a Desmidium or the quarter of an orange. It is about equally divided be- 

 tween the two surfaces of the leaf; no rosy cheek. Generally there is but 

 one gall on the leaf ; one leaf was seen with three upon it. Length 0.23 to 

 0.50 inch." It has since been reported from Massachusetts, New York, 

 Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Canada.
