This a place anyone in Africa can add photos of galls, come to look for galls to identify, or enjoy the amazing variety of galls. I hope it can inspire people around the continent to pay more attention to the interactions around them, so please join and add your observations!
Most galls can only be identified by using an identification of the host plant. An iNaturalist observation of the host is recommended as verification the host species.
If a plant observation has visible galls, and the observer isn't available to create an observation for those galls, it is ok to add the plant to this project.
