Buerenia inundata
Protomyces inundatus
An epiphyllous gall on Apiaceae especially Fool’s-water-cress (Helosciadium nodiflorum). The galls take the form of yellowish or pale brown pustules, mainly on the leaves of the host plant.
[Note that it appears as Burenia in the BPGS key (Redfern & Shirley 2023)]
Unless identified by a recognised expert, a photo of gall and host plant is required; please also state the name of the host plant.
Seems to be widespread but under recorded in England and Wales.
Status in Leicestershire and Rutland not known.
