surrounded by a clear area of nearly naked green tissues and on 

 the upper surface by small, broadly oval swellings i to 1.5 mm in 

 diameter, mostly dark green in color, though a number are beginning 

 to show the characteristic reddish or purplish red tint of the fully 

 developed gall. Assuming the above statement to be correct, this 

 is the most serious and general infestation by this plant mite hitherto 

 brought to our notice.
