). The fresh galls are green but after emergence of the gall midges they become yellowish and may remain on the plant until the next season. In such dry galls the internal complex of larval chambers becomes very rigid and is sometimes left on the shoot after the rosette leaves are shed. The galls are so common that on some bushes they may cover most of the branches and stunt their growth. Their size depends on the number of chambers in them and apparently on the condition of the individual plant. The galls appear on the plant around NovemberDecember and reach their final size in February. Development of the second and third larval instars is rapid, and adults emerge during FebruaryMarch in
