Field Guide to Plant Galls of California and Other Western States (California Natural History Guides): 91 - Russo, Ron

Clean, tight, unmarked; very light creases to front cover; otherwise straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; appears unread; Oak apples, honeydew and ambrosia galls, witches' brooms, and fasciations - all are types of plant galls, a commonly observed, yet little understood botanical phenomenon. Often beautiful and bizarre, galls are growths of various shapes, sizes, and colors produced by host plants in response to invading organisms. This guide, a trove of natural history lore, explores this hidden realm, taking a fascinating look at the world of plant galls, the organisms that induce them, their host plants, and their intricate behaviors.
