This gall is induced by a Torymiid Wasp. Hymenoptera:Chalcidoidea:Torymidae.
We need a mechanisn to suggest a name in this category. Most galls can be identified by their appearnance. I would like to keep all the pictures of galls together whether identified or not. With a bit of research we should be able to ID most galls.

I've changed the name of the "species" to suit your ID, and placed a separate sighting of Torymid wasp .
