A Check List of New Zealand Plant Galls (Zoocecidia)

By K P. Lamb, Plant Diseases Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Auckland

[Received by the Editor, August 3, 1959].

Introduction

A study of New Zealand plant galls undertaken ten years ago (Lamb, 1949) revealed 86 galls on 75 plant species. Only 51 of these were caused by insects or mites (zoocecidia). Since then many more galls have been collected, but hitherto no list of New Zealand galls has been published. Comprehensive catalogues of galls have been published for most parts of the world, but the literature on galls of this country is sparse and scattered.

The aim of this paper is to list the known zoocecidia of New Zealand, though many of the galls included have not been described in detail, and many of the causal organisms are unidentified or undescribed. A total of 188 galls are listed as occurring on 148 species of plants (including four species of ferns and two Gymnosperms). In describing the galls the terminology of Felt (1940) and earlier workers has been followed.
