He imagined to himself wonderful galls caused to appear on the ovaries of plants, and by these means he thought it possible that the seed might be influenced, and thus new varieties arise.
During the closing years of his life, Darwin began to experimentise on the possibility of producing galls artificially.
All contain Tannic Acid, or some modification of it; and Oak-galls contain also Gallic Acid.
It is thus, that it is serviceable to soak for a day or two in a solution of nut-galls or of tannin, those parts injected with gelatine, when it is intended to preserve them dry.
Oak galls are produced from the prickings of insects; now around the same larva often four varieties of galls are recognized.
One form produces galls on the leaves and twigs, another affects the roots, causing galls or swellings, and often killing the vine.
The larvæ of many of these flies live in fruit; those of others produce galls on various plants.
Gall oak, the oak (Quercus infectoria) which yields the galls of commerce.
Defn: A gallfly which deposits its eggs in galls formed by other insects.
But I think we can afford sufficient proof that wherever it has arisen it has been preserved; and further, that even the highly complex forms of galls are evolved from forms so simple that we hesitate to call them galls at all[66].
But inasmuch as the formation of galls stands out as an exception to the otherwise universal rule of every species for itself, and for itself alone, we are justified in regarding this one apparent exception with extreme suspicion.

When logwood extract is employed, a smaller proportion of extract of galls is required, logwood itself containing a large percentage of tannin.
In the case of Aleppo galls this change takes place by fermentation when the solution of the galls is exposed to the air, the tannin splitting up into gallic acid and sugar.
The object of using straw in the extraction process is to maintain the porosity of the mixture, as powdered galls treated alone become so slimy with mucilaginous extract that liquid fails to percolate the mass.
Chinese galls do not contain the ferment necessary for inducing this change; and to induce the process yeast must be added to their solution.
