This pretty little gall has been recorded as British 
by Cameron, who found it “in Cadder Wilderness 
near Glasgow” (‘Brit. Phyto. Hymen.,’ vol. iv, p. 
105). There does not appear to be any other record 
of its occurrence in Britain. 
- Owing to its small size and rather close resemblance 
to other axillary bud-galls it may have escaped detec- 
tion by other gall collectors. 
The normal shape of the gall is spheroidal, and it 
would bear a close resemblance to Aphilothrix globuli 
but for a small conical projection on its summit due to 
an elongation of the outer surface. The base also is 
elongated to a point, but that is not noticeable while 
the gall is in situ. When both these features are 
pronounced the shape is somewhat ovoid. 
The surface has scattered over it a number of small 
flattened conical projections, which are concealed 
beneath a quantity of vitreous whitish hairs, some 
being recurved in the direction of the point of attach- 
ment, while others near the summit are straight and 
very numerous.
